19 November 2021: Just gutted over the verdict out of Kenosha today. Gutted, but not surprised.
Too many times, I've found myself walking into a classroom feeling utterly defeated by the broken world we are giving to the next generation. It happened again today, as I walked into ENGL 312. My students still give me faith and hope, as they shared (without my influencing them) their own sadness and anger. But I'm even more afraid for them, as peaceful protesters can be gunned down with no consequences.
Right now I just want to go home and shut off the world for a while. And I know that's a privilege and luxury so many don't have.
