Why is it important to address prejudice in politics and policy-making, and how can we do so effectively?

Maegan Burdfield

It is very important to talk about prejudice in politics because it can affect a lot of people's lives. Prejudice means when you treat someone unfairly because of their skin color, religion, or where they come from. This is not fair and can make people feel very sad and angry.

When politicians and people who make laws are prejudiced, they may make laws that are not fair for everyone. This can make things harder for people who are different from them. It is important to speak up and say that treating people unfairly is not okay.

We can help stop prejudice by listening to each other. It's important to talk to people who are different from us and get to know them. This way, we can learn that we are all similar in a lot of ways. We can also call out prejudice when we see it. If we hear someone saying something that is not fair, we can speak up and say that it's not okay.

We can also make sure that the people we vote for are not prejudiced. We can learn about their beliefs and what they stand for. If we don't agree with them, we can find someone else to vote for.

It's important to remember that everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and respect, no matter who they are. When we listen to each other and stand up for what is right, we can make the world a better place for everyone.
