America did not become what it is today because of common people. We celebrate our diversity, exceptionality, and bravery at the same time that we are attempting to bury those traits. The world is following our educational models of the past few decades at the same time that we are turning our backs on those successful models. We are digging a grave for our democratic process at a time when we should be paying extra special attention to keeping it healthy.
Our next generation of learners can save us and keep us strong through their diversity, ingenuity, creativity, friendliness, cooperation, and forward thinking.
