Is that Fair? Exploring Justice, Bullying, Humanity and Morality
In this program, Muriel Johnson brings her audience into the life of a fourth grader as she navigates being bullied at school. One day she tells a lie about her bully which is bound to get him into big trouble. Is that fair? This is a compelling thought-provoking story for children to experience. Students will be asked mid story, “what is the right thing to do?” Should she come clean or let him suffer for something he did not do? Students get to suggest and express what is just, what is morally correct, what is fair according to their personal opinions. This tale and the telling of it creates a wonderful opportunity for students to reflect on their own experiences and sense of justice, morality and humanity. It is a compelling, funny, serious and suspenseful personal story re-enactment that will not be forgotten!
