Do you know the impact of your protectionist trade policies on destitute African farmers? The role of slave and child labor in global production system benefiting wealthy capitalist countries? Most Americans, even if they wanted to understand their role in the injustices of the world, would find it beyond human comprehension, because it is. Especially when you layer in generational, ancestral and bystander effects. Progress is not made by raging against the human condition including ignorance, imperfection and limitations. Progress is made by the work of many people with many voices in many vocations including economists, physicians, scientists, artists, politicians, historians, lawyers. And the foundation of an education that requires many voices should not be determined by one singular set. Woke perspectives are valuable. Your mission is a good one. But so is one of someone seeking to preserve the ability to digest a plurality of voices, a cornerstone of democracy

Huh?

Huh?

If that is your response, perhaps it is enough to show that being woke is an insufficient basis for an entire education.

Well stated.

No Catholic high school or University requires students to "believe" in any given faith or doctrine. This is an often misunderstood point about Catholic schools.

In what way would Laura Bush be “the other side” of Michelle Obama? Do you mean skin color?

It seems like a lot of schools even in Kindergarten are openly very progressive (for example, they'll read board books praising Michelle Obama, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, etc., but you'd never see a book about Laura Bush or Sandra Day O'Connor or some other equivalent figure on "the other side"). I'm looking for more of a straight-forward focus on academics without the pushing of any political ideology.

Does this still exist?

What would the book about Laura Bush say?

I don't think the human brain is quite that simple. Do you?

No. Clearly some minds are complex enough to believe that grooming is topic dependent.
