El lamento, el arrepentimiento y la oración de Adviento de un pastor blanco… Cyon Edgerton

Hemos elegido la política y el progreso antes que la paz.

Hemos elegido el éxito sobre tu Espíritu.

Hemos buscado poder, posición y privilegios más que su presencia.

Hemos subido a plataformas en lugar de arrodillarnos a vuestros pies.

Hemos colonizado su evangelio y bastardizado su misión.

A white pastor’s lament, repentance, and Advent prayer… Cyon Edgerton

We have chosen politics and progress over peace.

We have chosen success over your Spirit.

We have sought power, position, and privilege more than your presence.

We have climbed onto platforms rather than knelt at your feet.

We have colonized your gospel and bastardized your mission.

Nombres y adaptación by Diana Frazier

Hace poco le había dicho a mi papá que estaba embarazada; Esta fue mi cuarta vez. El tercer embarazo terminó en el primer trimestre y él estaba nervioso de que yo volviera a quedar embarazada. Para él, mi aborto espontáneo anterior significaba que el embarazo es peligroso y podría morir.

Names and Fitting In by Diana Frazier

I had recently told my dad I was pregnant; this was my fourth time. The third pregnancy ended in the first trimester, and he was nervous for me to be pregnant again. To him, my prior miscarriage meant pregnancy is dangerous and I could die. I was irritated at his remarks, unable to see it was his immense love for me coming through as worry. I was his baby, and he didn’t want to ever lose me.

Las escuelas públicas pertenecen a todos, excepto a aquellos que las destruirían - Avery Welkin

The truth is that in American society’s democratic ideal, public schools are for everyone. Even though the reality is that public schools were designed with a narrower focus on serving the white and wealthy, it is very clear now that this is not the goal. Public schools are one of the few spaces, along with public libraries, where American society at all socioeconomic levels, racial/ethnic identities, and abilities are welcome to learn without an expectation of spending money.
