There’s a song by Oscar Hammerstein II, written in 1949

You’ve got to be 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 diff’rent shade.

You’ve got to be carefully taught

You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
