It is true that all children are special, simply because they are children. But most adults are not special, and children end up as adults pretty quickly. Life then can be difficult and even disappointing. The shock of this may account for the emergence of the “snowflake generation” of university students, who are so delicate they can’t handle controversial ideas being put forward in their lectures. The roots of this fragility run deep in modern culture. So, an approach of the world that states: “Life is wonderful, you’re special and, if you are a good boy/girl, life will be amazing forever” is not a message designed to aid bouncing back from failure or confronting catastrophe. Resilience is not about feeding ego — telling your children how wonderful they are — but strengthening it.

Remember the sky that you were born under,
know each of the star’s stories.
Remember the moon, know who she is.
Remember the sun’s birth at dawn. [...]
Remember your birth, how your mother struggled
to give you form and breath [...]
Remember the earth whose skin you are:
red earth, black earth, yellow earth, white earth
brown earth, we are earth.
Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their
tribes, their families, their histories, too [...]
Remember you are all people and all people are you.
Remember you are this universe and this universe is you.
Remember all is in motion, is growing, is you.

My idea of philosophy is that if it is not relevant to human problems, if it does not tell us how we can go about eradicating some of the misery in this world, then it is not worth the name of philosophy. I think Socrates made a very profound statement when he asserted that philosophy is to teach us proper living. In this day and age “proper living” means liberation from the urgent problems of poverty, economic necessity and indoctrination, mental oppression.

Glory Ames, from the White Earth reservation, is frustrated that despite the presence of several indigenous reservations near Moorhead, local Halloween stores still feature a western section with costumes such as “pow wow princess”.
Even worse, despite a long-running debate about racism and cultural appropriation, often prompted by backlash against celebrities and politicians for donning offensive costumes, people continue to wear such costumes.
Last Halloween, Ames spotted a photo on Instagram of a girl dressed as a Native American with a bullet in her forehead. She immediately reported it to the social media platform and had it removed.
“They blatantly take certain aspects of our culture, race, religion, and use it for their advantage and ignore the people living it”, said Ames.

I remember being caught speaking Spanish at recess
[...] I remember being sent to the corner of the classroom
for “talking back” to the Anglo teacher when all I was trying
to do was tell her how to pronounce my name. “If you
want to be American, speak ‘American’. If you don’t like it,
go back to Mexico where you belong”.
“I want you to speak English […]”, my mother would say, mortified that I spoke English like a Mexican. At Pan American University, I and all Chicano students were required to take two speech classes. Their purpose: to get rid of our accents.

Our physical alienation from India almost inevitably
means that we will not be capable of reclaiming precisely
the thing that was lost; that we will, in short, create fictions,
not actual cities or villages, but invisible ones, imaginary
homelands, Indias of the mind. […] It may be argued that
the past is a country from which we have all emigrated
[…], but I suggest that the writer who is out-of-country
and even out-of-language may experience this loss in an
intensified form.

“We won’t ruin Mars. It’s too big and too good.” said
the captain.
“You think not? We Earth Men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things. The only reason we didn’t set up hot-dog stands in the midst of the Egyptian temple of Karnak is because it was out of the way and served no large commercial purpose. And Egypt is a small part of Earth. But here, this whole thing is ancient and different, and we have to set down somewhere and start fouling it up. We’ll call the canal the Rockefeller Canal and the mountain King George Mountain and the sea the Dupont Sea, and there’ll be Roosevelt and Lincoln and Coolidge cities, and it won’t ever be right, when there are the proper names for these places.”

Letter to the Editor
Michael Gerson’s Oct. 19 Tuesday Opinion column, “The state laboratory of idiocracy strikes again” did not highlight the disservice done to the Black community or any other minority group affected by White history. I wonder about how this will manipulate the perceptions of minorities in the eyes of students. The misguided stereotypes and assumptions perpetuated by these curriculum restrictions will likely prevent Black Americans from expressing themselves safely.
It’s plausible to assume that continued miseducation over generations could create a sense of false comfort for Black Americans. Without proper access to history, minorities might begin to forget the oppression they have faced and the injustices they are currently dealing with. Lacking this vital historical education only serves to continue the longstanding issue of misinformation in modern generations.
The problems are only the start of the issues that could begin to plague the American education system.

We walked on, the stranger walking with us.
Taylor Franklin Bankole. Our last names an instant
bond between us. We’re both descended from men
who assumed African surnames back during the 1960s.
His father and my grandfather had had their names
legally changed, and both had chosen Yoruba
replacement names.
“Most people chose Swahili names in the ’60s”, Bankole told me. He wanted to be called Bankole. “My father had to do something different. All his life he had to be different”.
“I don’t know my grandfather’s reasons”, I said. “His last name was Broome before he changed it, and that was no loss’. But why he chose Olamina…? Even my father didn’t know. He made the change before my father was born, so my father was always Olamina, and so were we.

How little we know of what there is to know. I wish
that I were going to live a long time instead of going to
die today because I have learned much about life in these
four days; more, I think than in all other time. I’d like to
be an old man to really know. I wonder if you keep on
learning or if there is only a certain amount each man can
understand. I thought I knew so many things that I know
nothing of. I wish there was more time.

We carry dust of our families and neighbors incinerated [in mushroom clouds
We carry our islands sinking under the sea We carry our hands, feet, bones, hearts and best minds [for a new life
We carry diplomas: medicine, engineer, nurse, [education, math, poetry, even if they mean [nothing to the other shore
We carry railroads, plantations, laundromats, [bodegas, taco trucks, farms, factories, nursing [homes, hospitals, schools, temples... built on [our ancestors’ backs
We carry old homes along the spine, new dreams in our [chests
We carry yesterday, today and tomorrow

We’re refugees of the sea rising from industrial wastes
And we carry our mother tongues
