Jax, a 5 year old from Kentucky wanted to get his hair cut so that he could look just like his friend Reddy. This is a photo of Jax and Reddy at their Christmas party.
Jax's Mum wrote, "He said he couldn't wait to get to school on Monday with his hair like Reddy's so his teacher wouldn't be able to tell them apart. He thought it would be so hilarious to confuse his teacher with the same haircut. If this isn't proof that hate and prejudice is something that is taught, I don't know what is. The only difference Jax sees in the two of them is their hair."
