What does it mean that Oscar-winner Hilary Swank's growing up in a trailer park is a big deal, that the author's son's education taught him his "broken home" puts him at risk, and that her niece used derogatory terms that could just as easily have been applied to her as to her enemy? The author thinks it says something about people's responsibilities as adults and as educators and as human beings. She thinks it tells us something about how prejudices are transmitted to children and about how terribly limited they are by people and by their lack of vision.
