"... The innocence of a child we are charged to protect. Any of the guilt and the harshness adults feel abandoning that charge of responsibility becomes mean hard hearted laws. Those laws are making life in US public schools a gray prison yard of dashed hopes, and suppressed imaginations.
The boxing promoter, Don King with his crazy self, used to say, "Only in America." with a big smile on his face that endeared conservative people with manipulative minds to flock around him, not because of his morals or integrity, but because he could skillfully mask true intentions with the illusions of honest dealings. It was remarkable a skill, and the technique passes the bills in education departments across the country.
Children are being crushed, dominated and robbed of the one thing no one can lay claim to, hold, or reproduce: innocence. The innocence of a child is now a commodity." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3.1.13
