Helping Kids Rise

DR. KING ON EDUCATION‼️ "To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education.

Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.

The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals...
If we are not careful, our colleges will produce a group of close-minded, unscientific, illogical propagandists, consumed with immoral acts."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Morehouse College Maroon Tiger Campus Newspaper, 1947)

🔑‼️ Be mindful of what you're consuming. Question it. Dissect it for truth and falsehoods. Practice discernment with the information you allow to shape your life and your thoughts. Intelligence, plus character is critical in education, in business, and in life.

A PLACE FOR US‼ This new wordless picture book about a boy and his mom experiencing homelessness gently opens readers’ eyes to compassion, understanding, and the power of love that endures—even when life is uncertain. A quiet, powerful story—and must-have for every family, classroom, and library.

Here's the publisher's description: When a little boy's mom picks him up from school, his day seems a lot like any other kid's. He and his mom go out for some fast food and then head to the library. But when they stay there till closing time, and then go to the park, we learn more. Through the lens of Ransome’s evocative illustrations, we see that they ate out because they don't have a kitchen to cook in. They went to the library because they didn't have a quiet space to do homework. And at night, they settle in to sleep on a bench in a city park because they don't have a home. The next morning, they are awakened by the rising sun, Mom’s bag is full of clean clothes, and there’s a fountain for washing up--and finally they are ready for the walk to school. His classmates may or may not know about his living situation, but what shines throughout the story is the deep love he and his mom have for each other.
