Answer 2

Answer:

c. teaching children to think independently and challenge social norms that promote racism.

Explanation:

This is most likely the strategy that would most effectively help us reduce racism. By teaching children to think independently, they are more likely to question the racist remarks they might hear in society. They are also more likely to resist peer pressure and conformity when placed in a racist environment. Finally, children raised in this way would be more able to challenge social norms that promote racism.
