    Maybe. Philosophy knows to deconstruct, a system to ask big questions, and also to help people explore their position.  

     

    But I also think a better more authentic framing of America history in textbookS —less dead white men are perfect, creates new viewpoints in younger people.  America’s history texts used to be pretty much one that celebrated the heroism and glazed over the horrible treatment of black people, of native people, of Japanese people, should I go on?

     

    Truth be told people can go on and on about their high property taxes, but they are high partially because We fund schools in a method of systemic racism which  perpetuates segregation which is done economically.  Its a catch 22 because you want your kids to have advantages but by choosing a good district you keep them from people of color and poor people.

    Jehovah God wants us to show that we love him by becoming like him. “Become imitators of God, as beloved children, and go on walking in love,” says Ephesians 5:1, 2. “Walking in love” includes loving people as God does, regardless of their skin color or ethnicity.—Mark 12:31.
