What is the effect of teaching children to hate others?

Thomas R. Valletta

“The Lamanites in 4 Nephi were reviving old prejudices and teaching their children again to hate, ‘even as the Lamanites were taught to hate the children of Nephi from the beginning’ [4 Nephi 1:39]. And so the polarizing process began all over again.

“I hope that we may learn this important lesson and delete segregating names from our personal vocabularies. … [Remember,] ‘all are alike unto God’ [2 Ne. 26:33]” (Nelson, “More Excellent Hope,” 63).
