The idea is that the 5-year-old who learns that it's all right for a boy to play dress-up becomes the adult who accepts her transgendered co-worker, or that the preschooler who has friends with two daddies or mommies won't mind that his first college roommate is gay.

To further the school's message, Temple Beth El is holding a series of workshops this spring to show parents, early childhood educators and teachers at religious schools how to teach anti-bias principles to children.
