Hi Ruthe,
Thanks for a great article. Very informative and to the point. I am just left to shake my head in disgust, once again with the House Republican anti-leaders. I apologize for the sour tone but as they say....IDLE NO MORE!
Come on, what about the social studies lessons I carefully and respectfully taught my 4th grade students about US government? That part of its job is to protect and serve its citizens, especially the most vulnerable?
It was different teaching middle school 8th graders US History. Priceless but sad, when they quickly realized (on their own) how our Republican party has never been about "we the people" but more like we the CERTAIN people!
what do we do? it feels so hopeless, it's so hard not to fight racism and bigotry without anger and racism also! a warrior's heart is hard to change, how can we stop fighting long enough to process forgiveness and Peace? I found myself tweeting this recently,- Forgiveness is difficult to practice when that which we need to forgive lives in the present and is constant.
