The Polarized Come Together
President George W. Bush initiated the “No Child Left Behind” education movement. We started teaching students what to learn, but not HOW to learn. Teachers were (and are) being punished for not teaching to the test. Has that education mandate helped to raise a generation of people who don’t know how to seek good, true, and honest information?
There’s hope. People are starting to come together. Grace finds a way to come to the middle.
Loss and Grace
Some of our friends and family have said and done incredibly hurtful things over the past year of unrest. Opinions, fear, anger, and misinformation can cause us to say unhealthy things in the moment. What happens after we say something unkind or hurtful and then somewhere down the road we find ourselves in a different place and a different mindset? Can we or should we apologize to the people we hurt along the way?
