ऊसर / Barren – Kaushal Kishore

 

दिल की मिट्टी इतनी गीली होती है कि 

प्रेम औ’ करुणा के बीज स्वतः उपजते हैं, 

लेकिन धीरे धीरे कंकड़ पत्थर डाल उसमें 

उसे हम ऊसर बना डालते हैं…

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The heart’s soil is naturally moist and kind,

Where love and compassion easily bind…

But we render it barren, we make it cold,

Adding pebbles and stones as we grow old…

.

Steve Suitts: The New Segregation Looks Like the Old Segregation | Diane Ravitch’s blog

Steve Suitts wrote an important essay on the continuity between the “school choice” movement of today and its roots in the fight against the Brown decision in the 1950s.

Charter schools and vouchers are not innovative. Their most predictable outcome is not “better education,” but segregated schools.

Suitts’ essay delves into the issue, state by state. I encourage you to open the link and read it in full. I skipped over large and important sections. Read them.
