Early childhood educator and YouTube phenomenon Rachel Accurso known to her tiny fans as Ms. Rachel posted a sweet message on Instagram this week to say that everyone is welcome in her classroom, including LGBTQ+ people. Accurso specifically names trans, gay, and nonbinary people, as well as people of varying political parties, religions, and immigration status. She ended the list of folks she welcomes with people who hate me.

Love you! original sound Ms Rachel One of Accursos recurring cast members on her YouTube Songs for Littles show is also a nonbinary performer, Jules Hoffman, who earned the ire of some conservative moms when they were first brought on. While Hoffman addressed the controversy head-on, Accurso did so indirectly with a message about her goal to serve children and their families every day and to share the love and kindness that we want to see reflected in the world. @julessingsforlittles I didnt know how to respond to everything that is going on. I want to address the in the room in the best way I know how- by teaching kids about love and acceptance. Kids around us, they are absorbing and ing to us for our responses, how we react, how we treat others. They remember what we say and what we believe and it can either bring them closer to us, to share their truest selves with us or push them away. Take care of yourselves and each other. Reach down deep inside you when things get icky, take some deep breaths, sure- be a crabby for a bit, remember its ok to cry and then respond with and kindness.
