El lamento, el arrepentimiento y la oración de Adviento de un pastor blanco… Cyon Edgerton

Hemos elegido la política y el progreso antes que la paz.

Hemos elegido el éxito sobre tu Espíritu.

Hemos buscado poder, posición y privilegios más que su presencia.

Hemos subido a plataformas en lugar de arrodillarnos a vuestros pies.

Hemos colonizado su evangelio y bastardizado su misión.

A white pastor’s lament, repentance, and Advent prayer… Cyon Edgerton

We have chosen politics and progress over peace.

We have chosen success over your Spirit.

We have sought power, position, and privilege more than your presence.

Mi terapista me demostro La hirarcia de necesidades por Maslow, para poder entender el origen de mi hipervigilancia e inquietud, pero al escuchar a algunos de líderes indígenas, empecé a imaginarlo como un círculo envés de una pirámide.”

Las escuelas públicas pertenecen a todos, excepto a aquellos que las destruirían - Avery Welkin

The truth is that in American society’s democratic ideal, public schools are for everyone. Even though the reality is that public schools were designed with a narrower focus on serving the white and wealthy, it is very clear now that this is not the goal. Public schools are one of the few spaces, along with public libraries, where American society at all socioeconomic levels, racial/ethnic identities, and abilities are welcome to learn without an expectation of spending money.

Mis padres no eran abogados, médicos ni maestros, mi papá es paisajista y mi mamá limpiaba casas.
