When we were kids, our parents taught us right from wrong. They had rather strict rules we had to follow. In addition, they helped us evaluate and judge the actions of other kids and allowed us to make friends only with those who were doing the things our mom and dad considered right and proper. We were not to have friends who did not follow our parents’ rules.
In short, they taught us to discriminate, not based on the color of one’s skin or by the clothes they were wearing, but by their actions. They also discussed how we should love the sinner, and hate the sin. At a young age this was difficult to understand, but by middle school we could see their wisdom.
