1. The USA needs to implement the Springfield Plan in every school district

I was educated in Springfield, MA from 1st grade through 12th (1952-1964).
I do not have memory of anything but can attest to having a detestation of racism, dating back to the time.

From Wikipedia

"The Springfield Plan was a widely publicized intergroup, or intercultural, education policy initiative of the 1940's which was implemented in the public school system of Springfield, Massachusetts. ..."

"Following the publicity it received, the plan became the national model for citizenship and multicultural education during World War and school administrators throughout the U.S. traveled to Springfield to witness the plan in action."

"The widely stated purpose of the plan was to foster democracy and eliminate racism (my emphasis) from schooling. It involved innovative advances in curriculum, including the use of cooperative learning and democratic living classroom activities. Students also participated in projects where they learned about the history and culture of other groups in their broader community. Beyond the school, the plan expanded education into local factories where adult workers were provided with citizenship classes. Lastly, it included new methods for teaching students how to recognize racist propaganda, while it was also innovative in producing positive propaganda, publicizing the advantages of intergroup education for the entire nation."
