@donovanmcabee @TIMEIdeas @TIME I loved your article and thought it really summed up how I feel, as well. As a Presbyterian and public school teacher, I hope to act the way Jesus would want us to help others and love the unlovable (even though it is often so hard to do!).

Students who deeply believe they BELONG in science, can listen for understanding (instead of waiting to be heard), can add their “voice” to the room, and feel safe to admit they don’t know.
