Letter: Defeating prejudice comes from heart

I was appalled at the ignorance and prejudice of the superintendent from an East Texas school in his racist remarks regarding Deshaun Watson, the Houston Texans’ quarterback. How dare he say something like that in times like these.

People are people. All of us laugh, cry, love, pray and sacrifice for others. How can we ever overcome ignorance and prejudice? Can we cut it out, like a tumor? Alas, society doesn’t allow lobotomies. It must come from the heart.
