Stanford archaeologist defends Black history, LGBTQ education – Los Angeles Times

“It is hard to ignore the realities of indigenous boarding schools when you have to reckon with the countless unnamed burials attached to these schools,” Flewellen says. “It is impossible to ignore the travesty of the Tulsa race massacre when you are confronted with the actual mass burials of African Americans who sought to live there.”

 

Flewellen is especially troubled by the seeming lack of concern among some political figures for students who come from communities that have seen their histories either whitewashed or left out.

Political and educational leaders in places such as California, Texas and Florida, where the scholar grew up, have moved to ban the study of systemic injustice under the guise of eliminating critical race theory. Some school districts have imposed restrictions on teachings about gender on the grounds that affirming portrayals of LGBTQ people are harmful to children.

They suggested that eradication is possible only through ensuring the highest possible vaccination coverage worldwide and maintaining it indefinitely.

Every conscious act

What we do, every action

Accompanied will always be

From the chosen option

We’re the ones who draw

The future, the future

Pessimism, insecurity

Everyone feels, don’t give up

The universe wants you well

Believe me, just insist

Each one reaps what he plants

Soothe hope, faith, humility

Dream, battle, build

Your way, your character, your street

May it be a blessed avenue

Of fights, battles, smiles

Harvest your life with tenderness
