A teachable moment:
A teachable moment is an unplanned opportunity that arises where learning can happen. These moments are powerful because they connect real-life experiences to valuable lessons, fostering deeper understanding and personal growth. They encourage critical thinking, empathy, and reflection, turning everyday interactions into trans-formative learning experiences.

From these tragedies is the urgent need to address systemic racism, police accountability, and the value of every human life. These incidents highlight the importance of advocating for comprehensive police reform, promoting de-escalation tactics, and fostering community-based safety measures. They remind us to educate ourselves and others about implicit biases, demand justice for victims, and actively work toward a society rooted in equity, compassion, and respect for all.
“How do we begin to understand something so profoundly inhumane? The reality is, no child is born with hate in their heart. It is planted, watered, and reinforced—often so systematically that by the time they are adults, they no longer recognize the corruption of their own humanity. This is not an excuse, nor is it meant to soften the horror of what was done. But if we cannot understand how this destruction of empathy happens, we risk allowing it to happen again. The lesson here is not just history—it is a warning.”


Hate is taught, and in teaching it, we don’t just destroy others—we destroy ourselves. The children who were conditioned into violence and racism may have lost their empathy, but they were not the ultimate victims. Those who suffered under their actions bore the true cost. However, understanding how hate is passed down helps us recognize our responsibility: to break the cycle, to challenge what has been normalized, and to ensure that no child grows up believing cruelty is strength. This is not about excusing the past—it’s about ensuring it doesn’t shape the future.”
