Young children don’t care about differences of nationality, faith or race. So long as their companions smile, they play together happily. It seems it’s only as we grow up, in the course of education, that focussing on secondary differences between people creates trouble.

[Manuel Bonilla @talksmack49]

“..teachers’ pure intentions & genuine desire to make a difference have been exploited, because the powers that be know that if the school doesn’t provide what kids need to thrive, we as educators will pick up the slack.”

I refer to this as “weaponizing our goodwill.”
