I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Just heard some teachers explain the trauma of students dealing with ICE raids. One student’s dog went missing, but the parents were afraid to go outside and look for it; other students stay up at night, afraid that ICE may break in. Is this the United States of America? #nokings
