Cornell removes Gettysburg Address, bust of Lincoln, after "a complaint."
How can a nation that has come to hate even the redemptive episodes in its history then expect to stir itself to redemptive action? What moral vision of our future does this serve?

"The viewpoint of the curriculum decolonisers is based on the assumption that black students resonate most with poetry written by black poets. Why should a poem be taught if it can speak to students only on the basis of their being black? This is not inclusion; it is division."🧵

"Left-wing dogma, like right-wing dogma and extreme Muslim dogma, just generates more radical forms of dogma. The more the Jewish community embraces it, the more we become complicit in the very ideology that harms us."
Prioritizing the group over the individual is the root cause of human harm
Reversing 👆 mindset &
Empowered Humanity Theory is the root treatment
A slight shift can make all the difference in the world

When we rehumanize each other & intentionally cultivate compassion, our ability to see each other as we see ourselves we lessen our
-in-group bias preference
-capacities for prejudice, aggression & cruelty;
Racism & bigotry will end. https://youtu.be/iVYt57ScrZk

Wrapped up 2 amazing days of working with the #SEL leadership team of Dorchester County Public Schools. We are grateful to share Empowered Humanity Theory as a framework that strengthens our humanity and increases the well-being of all and trusting relationships.
True culture is in search for the truth, thus should be accessible to all. Snobs and know-it-all should recognize that or stay put. #Newtown #freethinkingartists #WeAreNewtown
Never let anyone convince you you just aren’t smart enough to “get” shitty postmodern art or shitty poetry. Or that kindness requires you to pretend that bad art is good. That’s some BS.
Tell the truth. Say what you think. These stink:

As more performers and portrayers are starting to blur the line between their craft and their political views, the less magical their act will become. Being an artists should imply a massive dose of humility. @GreenDay #Newtown #freethinkingartists

Same parts of our cultural institutions are now completely unredeemable. With Newtown, merit is of the utmost importance as it guarantees us culture that will be as challenging as it is gratifying. Join us and let's offer art to the millions of consumers waiting for it.

Our institutions shapes us as much as all others as we create and inhabit them. Since they are now broken, new ones are required. This goes double for our culture. Thank you @docMJP and @theammind for this great call to action.
