Ethics For Young Humans

Through ETHICAL community, young humans empower their ethical development, create life-long friendships, and stand up with care and courage for a GOOD WORLD through action. At Ethical Culture, where the cool-ness factor values KINDNESS and DEED, children bring out the best in one another, and thereby themselves... (variation on a quote by founder, Felix Adler.)

Ocean Poem

By Marifer, inspired by memories of her snorkeling experience in Cancun Created for and presented at First Sundays Series, August 6th, 2020 Thousands of drops of water in an ocean. Thousands of diverse species in the vivid colors swim in it. Amongst the rough coral, eels poke their slimy, slim heads from between the sands and stones. Quiet, bright orange clownfish swim through anemone. Fish, vibrant, colorful fish swim through the blue waters. Gliding as it seems, with the grace of birds. Polyps poke out along with barnacles from the sandy hulls of ships. Squids and octopi, with suckers, three hearts, and aggression can be spotted nearby. Curious fish with spikes, Mares of the Sea, and star shaped curiosities are just a few of the wonderful oddities you may find. Flower like beings — not plants, but animals, you see — peek out every now and then for some krill Crabs, lobsters and assorted crustaceans, clams with the shiny pearls,turtles with green shells… Oh that is the beauty of a once pristine ocean. And now? Oh woe.

Earth Citizen John Lewis

Earth Citizen John Lewis 

By: Ohm Williams 

An earth citizen is someone who makes the earth better for other people and themselves. 
John Lewis was a great man and earth citizen. He was one of the youngest activists to join the Civil Rights movement. John Lewis once said that Emmet Till was his George Floyd. It made me feel sad because we sort of went through the same thing of having someone murdered because of the color of their skin. Because of Emmet Till, John Lewis began to march. He marched with Martin Luther King Jr. He stood up for Black Lives before Black Lives Matter was a movement. He was one of the brave people injured during the Bloody Sunday March. He did not stop fighting for freedom. He fought and fought and fought until his dying day. His legacy will live on.

Note: Ohm shared this speech at the August 2020 FIRST SUNDAYS SERIES!

Our America... YEE speech!

Our America

by YEE participant Marifer


In our America, I want us to be proud of who we are. If our skin is brown, tan, black or white, we should feel proud of it.

….Of our sexual orientation… If we like men, women, or whoever!

….If we come from an immigrant family or have lived here since we were born…

...Of our gender! If we are a man, woman, or non-binary, we should feel proud of it. 


In our America, I want us to get to choose 

            who we want to be, 

            what religion each of us wants to follow, 

            what job we want to get, 

            what we want to study, 

            who we want to marry, if at all. 

I want us to all have the opportunities

            to get a job, 

            go to college, 

            and raise a family if we wish.

I want there to be 

            peace and justice, and freedom and equality 

            for everybody. 

In our America. 

In our world. 

On our beautiful earth!
