Where We Start?
A first step is being able to hold conversations with our students regarding difficult issues – including some in which the wounds are still not healed.
We need to prepare our students to have the knowledge and skills to be good citizens, not just in Baltimore or Charleston or Maidan, but to act with resolve and respect as members in a global society.
