Today, in spite of our worst efforts, we still are."

Yes Garrett, yes. I esp love -- Let's care about our kids enough to not lie to them. And I even more love your call to not debate, but pivot to what is more important -- demanding truth, coming together, and working as fervently towards that as they are. It's so easy to get caught in the tangle of responding to the wrong set of challenges. Love the guidance from Brown and Oluo on that tip. Also, perfect song. Also also, I just picked up Lies My Teacher Told Me again, which was re-released (is that what you say for books?) in 2019 with a preference about "alternate facts". Just the reckoning our country, our people need with history is flaming obvs in the school board debates. Thanks for another great perspective and the inspiration to build something better together.
