On Monday our latest guest post will be written by no other than Laura Tornello.
Ms. Tornello is so awesome in so many ways, I will be curious to see if she can break this website as well as Mr. Anderson's post did. Which reminds me, if you want to catch up on the guest articles. They are linked below. Enjoy your weekend the best you can. With all the craziness going on right now you can take a moment to imagine the anger, violence and tension prevalent throughout America 240 years ago, We as a society need to examine not just the horrible atrocities going on right now throughout this country but the causes of it. We need the intelligence and the courage to articulate our thoughts, our fears and our goals. What is this country about? What is it's goal? Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers decreed a goal for America so poignant that it has sort of let us off the hook. Each successive generation has not had to articulate their own goals and ambitions for themselves and this country because the Declaration did it so well. Perhaps that is a cheap excuse 240 years later. It is important to study this document but it is also important to realize what our own interpretations and thoughts about our country and our role in society are. Do not be slaves to history but do not be ignorant of it either. We need an enlightened citizenry to move forward. So let's continue this intellectual journey with strength in our convictions. Education empowers us to face difficult challenges, it gives me purpose as an educator to challenge people to find their voice and their beliefs. This website is more than a passing fancy, it is a forum to connect all types of people with all types of beliefs, talents and passions. It unites us on a mission towards analysis and reflection. So let's move forward together! Caitlin Lansing-Chipotle and Freedom Austen Bundy-Brexit and Us Tyler Anderson-Trump and the Declaration
