Back in 1970 we moved back to Utah while I was in the forth grade. Now mind you I am half latino and half caucasian and was always taught to treat all people the same. I noticed Carla (the only black kid in our class) usually played in the sand box by her self and I figured what the heck I like playing in the sand box let's go see how this goes. Well it didn't take long to see Carla was a nice person so I started making it a habit to go out to the sand box at recess. It wasn't too long that a group of kids pulled me a side and said "ooooo you like Carla!!! They were trying to use peer pressure to get me to stop hanging around with her. Keep in mind easily 90% of the kids in my class at that time were LDS. And you know what? Those kids weren't born thinking that way.
