What can we do to end racism?

This was the question I posed to my students after doing a presentation on Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement. Many students had standard responses like educating our children and being tolerant, but I must say that my favorite answer was quite unexpected. "Why, put all the racists in gulags, of course". The idea of rounding up all the racists in the world and packing them off to Siberia to work in Russian labor camps was a novel one, and I found myself wiping the tears from my eyes before I could respond. I love French teenagers.
