Face-ism? Was that when you decided what someone was bad because of what color skin they had? Daddy explained some of that, but Lian had already known that was wrong. You know whether someone is bad by looking at their costume, not their face.
Lian was quickly getting in over her head, so she fastened on the bits she understood. "We have tea," she offered in response to Irey's mention of the extra credit rally. "I can get my tea set. We can have it with the cookies?"
Maybe Irey didn't go to such a hard school. Tea party homework sounded nice.
