 In 2005, I thought that it was about time that we started the conversation: about who we are, and where we came from:

Time to differentiate ourselves from Emma Lazarus' "... huddled masses, longing to be free..." (of the 20th Century).

Recognizing that, more often than not, perception creates a reality of it's own.

Cooperative Learning II _ Parenting

I believe that parents have a non-delegable duty to ensure that their children acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to be successful in life. While our educational institutions may define it as their Mission; we must continue to regard it as our sacrosanct duty.

As you know, I was born with a bible in my hands. When our first child was born, we changed-up the paradigm; placing a copy of Webster's dictionary in his:

 

Words convey meanings; ignorance to which, we cannot afford.

Take the "N Word" for example; it has been in most standardized dictionaries, as well as "part n parcel" of the English lexicon for decades. Those who suggest otherwise are simply disingenuous individuals.

And as you know, the mere inclusion of the word (in the dictionary) both cultivates and re-enforces its' use.
