“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life”.
Can I borrow a dollar?
The thing with borrowing a buck is it's not really a loan. It's a jack; a polite way of asking "can I have?".
When I read a NY Post article announcing that Harvard University was developping a course on HBO's "The Wire", I felt conflicted. How would the show's message and social commentary translate into "curriculum-speak"? Are they going to get it right this time or are we tuned into another episode of academic co-opting?

Working with "at risk" Urban Youth in schools I am constantly struck by the amount of strength they display in a world that so often (and so deeply) abandons them. For one thing love and compassion are not easy to hold on to, particularly in difficult times, yet I have seen so many youth who have been pushed so far yet retain dignity and care as core values. As Giroux, Joe, Shirley and many others note this is not the story of teens we see in the press. In the media they seem to exist as only victims or victimizers or recipients of someones saving. These two links (one from this weeks NYT ) speak of so much more, of quiet bodily harm and quiet strength.
