Can we learn from children?

Children have a special status of purity and therefore we can learn from them to correct our own natural state. The world may have advanced technologically and in Science but we are still living in the dark ages if we can't accept one another for who we are and not what we look like. Late news events show us that we still have a huge global challenge to correct our thinking. We focus so much on the external appearance and the different shades of skin. Children are so pure and free from this. They form an opinion of someone based on how kind and how they are made to feel around them. We are ready to teach our children but are we willing to learn from them?
