I had an African-American student who had no idea what MLK day was. Other kids in class just looked at him in disbelief.
I was sad. For him. For American society. It is this loss of where we have come from that provokes my sadness. There are so many people that have no idea what racism or fascism are because they have been continuously lied to throughout their lives. Sad for my children that they will have children in a world that is increasingly factionalized. <sigh>
