Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote a song for their Broadway show South Pacific titled " Carefully Taught." and Oscar's lyric is:

"You've got to be carefully taught to hate and fear, you've got to be taught from year to year, It's got to be drummed in your dear little ear, You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught to be afraid of people whose eyes are oddly made and people whose skin is a different shade, You've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught before it's too late, Before you are six or seven or eight, To hate all the people your relatives hate, You've got to be carefully taught.

This was written in 1949 and perhaps needs repeating.
