    This is a tough subject for me, I am white and will never truly know the suffering of those that have experienced Racism. But what I do know is that it seems to be getting worse, not going away, and the powerful elites want to throw money at it and powerful conservatives want to ignore it. The key is those in power don't really want to end it.

    I hope to give you all the final interview of a teacher who believed that parents should stay out of what the schools do and believed that it is a teacher's job to make sure the kids are taught to be good people and citizens. And basically, be good progressives. Unfortunately, before I could post the interview, she requested that the interview not go live. Since I promised that I would only post it if the people I interviewed were comfortable with it, I deleted it as requested. I do my best to describe her opinions for you. Hopefully I am able to get that across to you.
