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.
