I am connecting David Bohm’s “On Dialogue” with one of many reasons why I love the Integrated Schools group.
“When we come together to talk, or otherwise to act in common, can each of us be aware of the subtle fear and pleasure sensations that “block” his ability to listen freely?

You keep giving me words, explanations, ideas, and perspective to the stuff I am thinking about and dealing with right now as a black mom of three kids.

When white parents who don’t use the public schools question my deci... more
