If we’re honest, the American education system is a dumpster set ablaze. It has become politicized and weaponized and children are suffering for it. It has fully become a situation of haves and have-nots.

The Fire That We Started
We’re at that stage of things where we have to sorta stop and say, oh, yeah, that’s on us. Our bad. There is something sick in our culture and it’s undeniable.

You would think that in 2015 we would be at a place where education was… Continue reading School Grays
