In 2004 I taught a college-level Indigenous lit. class to 19-yo non-indigenous & two Mohawks kids. The non-Ind. were resentful of the resentment IN the literature; the Mohawks felt unsafe amidst the resentment. Uphill battle to put them on the same level of comfort and acceptance. But this is good!

An apparently insane president also reposted a statement that said:

“HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD!!”

Trump, considered a subject matter expert on treasonous and seditious behavior, offered his unique viewpoint via "official" social media!

1. He's old; 2. he has very poor impulse control and low emotional intelligence; 3. he has a history of inventing names for people (Sleepy Joe, Marjorie Traitor Brown). So, shocking? It's who he is, every day. Not saying it's right, but there are no surprises there.
