What can parents do? We can put our faith in young people as a positive force. I have yet to find a racist baby. Babies come into the world as blank as slates and, with their beautiful innocence, see others not as different but as enjoyable companions. Children learn ideas and attitudes from the adults who nurture them. I absolutely believe that children do not adopt prejudices unless they absorb them from their parents or teachers.

The question "does Jordan believe babies can be racist?" would be a good question to ask about Jordan's comment that she has "yet to find a racist baby." This question seeks to clarify Jordan's belief regarding the potential for babies to exhibit racist behavior.
The phrase "beautiful innocence" from the excerpt helps indicate that Jordan is making an appeal to emotion. This phrase evokes a sense of purity and goodness associated with babies, appealing to the reader's emotions and highlighting how innocent babies are in contrast to the prejudices that exist in society.
The sentence "“You know,” Steven said, “I’ve never been to the zoo.” is punctuated correctly. The quotation marks are used appropriately to indicate that Steven is speaking, and the comma is placed before the closing quotation mark to separate the dialogue tag from the actual spoken words.
