All of this. I wish they could see it. It grieves me so deeply but they just refuse to attempt to understand.

As a teacher who is an ethic minority when compared to my students, but a systemic majority (in education) I need the perspective of my students.

Hugely blessed reading this. Actually thought provoking and answered to a lot of my questions I have been battling living in a small town, Christian belt side of US.

Be blessed always.

Your examples of "racism" aren't examples of racism.

Oh hey John! I see that blocking your personal account and church account for trolling me wasn’t enough for you. Good to see you here!
