Community Role Models for Children

 

You don’t have to be a thief to tell a child not to steal.

You don’t have to be a murderer to tell a child not to kill.

You don’t have to be a scoundrel to tell a child not to cheat.

You don’t have to be a racist or a bigot to tell a child all forms of racism and bigotry are wrong.

You don’t have to be a bully to show a child love.
