- 7:25And
- 7:26we
- 7:26can

- 7:27that,
- 7:27shape
- 7:28that
- 7:28into
- 7:28some

- 7:30But
- 7:30we
- 7:31need

- 7:53likely

- 7:58always
- 7:58been

- 8:00the
- 8:01real
- 8:01utility

- 8:07Why
- 8:08are
- 8:08we

- 10:34And
- 10:34there's
- 10:34this
- 10:34one
- 10:35little
- 10:35moment
- 10:35where
- 10:37a

- 10:48army.
- 10:49And
- 10:49he
- 10:50says
- 10:50to
- 10:50a
- 10:50colleague,
- 10:52they
- 10:52are
- 10:52not
- 10:53our
- 10:53soldiers.
- 10:54When
- 10:54you
- 10:55train
- 10:55our
- 10:55soldiers
- 10:56and
- 10:56you
- 10:56tell
- 10:56them
- 10:57to
- 10:57do
- 10:57something,
- 10:57they
- 10:57do

- 10:58When
- 10:58you

- 10:59these
- 10:59soldiers
- 11:00to
- 11:00do
- 11:00something,
- 11:01their
- 11:01first
- 11:01response
- 11:02is,
- 11:02why?
- 11:03Why
- 11:03would
- 11:03I
- 11:03do
- 11:03that?
- 11:04But
- 11:04then
- 11:04he
- 11:05says,
- 11:05after
- 11:06I
- 11:06finish
- 11:06yelling
- 11:07at
- 11:07them
- 11:07and
- 11:08I
- 11:08explain
- 11:08why
- 11:09they
- 11:09do
- 11:09it
- 11:10assiduously,
- 11:11and
- 11:11I
- 11:11think
- 11:12about
- 11:12the
- 11:12character
- 11:13of
- 11:13individuals
- 11:14who
- 11:15comprised
- 11:16those
- 11:17first
- 11:17military
- 11:18forces.
- 11:19They
- 11:19were
- 11:19the
- 11:19poorest
- 11:20of
- 11:21the
- 11:21population.
- 11:22They
- 11:22had
- 11:22nothing
- 11:23to
- 11:23lose,
- 11:23and
- 11:24they
- 11:24ended
- 11:24up
- 11:24losing
- 11:25everything.
- 11:26They
- 11:26fought.
- 11:26They
- 11:27were
- 11:27not
- 11:27paid.
- 11:28They
- 11:28died
- 11:28of
- 11:28disease.
- 11:29Right.
- 11:30So
- 11:30what
- 11:30on
- 11:31earth
- 11:31would
- 11:31make
- 11:31them
- 11:32commit
- 11:32to
- 11:33war?
- 11:34And
- 11:34I
- 11:34think
- 11:35it
- 11:35comes
- 11:35down
- 11:36to
- 11:36a
- 11:37lack
- 11:37of
- 11:37being
- 11:38seen,
- 11:38being
- 11:38heard,
- 11:39and
- 11:39being
- 11:39represented.
- 11:40And
- 11:40they
- 11:41had
- 11:41lived
- 11:42the
- 11:42truth
- 11:43that
- 11:44an
- 11:44authority
- 11:45that
- 11:45will
- 11:46not
- 11:46respect
- 11:46us
- 11:47does
- 11:47not
- 11:48deserve
- 11:48our
- 11:48respect.
- 11:49And
- 11:49we
- 11:50will
- 11:50ask
- 11:50why
- 11:51every
- 11:51time.
- 11:51And
- 11:52it
- 11:52makes
- 11:52me
- 11:52think
- 11:53that
- 11:53perhaps
- 11:54this
- 11:54is
- 11:54part
- 11:55of
- 11:55the
- 11:55sacred
- 11:56American
- 11:56character,
- 11:57and
- 11:57always
- 11:58has
- 11:58been,
- 11:58that
- 11:58when
- 11:59we
- 11:59don't
- 11:59feel
- 12:00well
- 12:00represented,
- 12:01we
- 12:01make
- 12:01our
- 12:01respect
- 12:02conditional,
- 12:02appropriately,
- 12:03as
- 12:03a
- 12:04means
- 12:04of
- 12:05taking
- 12:05back
- 12:05power
- 12:06that
- 12:06is
- 12:06deservedly
- 12:07ours.
- 12:08I
- 12:08don't
- 12:08know
- 12:08if
- 12:08that
- 12:08holds
- 12:09true
- 12:10in
- 12:10your
- 12:10thinking,
- 12:11but
- 12:12I
- 12:12was
- 12:12inspired
- 12:13to
- 12:13kind
- 12:13of
- 12:13maybe

- 12:14link.
- 12:14Yeah,
- 12:15no,

- 12:15think
- 12:15that's
- 12:15a
- 12:15great
- 12:15connection
- 12:16because
- 12:16I
- 12:16think

- 12:17to
- 12:18us,
- 12:18really,
- 12:18looking
- 12:19at
- 12:19students
- 12:20as
- 12:20full
- 12:20human
- 12:21beings.
- 12:21Right.
- 12:22And
- 12:22so
- 12:23oftentimes,
- 12:23you
- 12:23know,
- 12:24as
- 12:24the
- 12:24adults,
- 12:25when
- 12:25we
- 12:26see
- 12:26these
- 12:26behaviors,
- 12:27we
- 12:27immediately
- 12:28identify
- 12:28them
- 12:28as
- 12:29problems.
- 12:30Right.
- 12:31Because
- 12:31it's
- 12:32interfering
- 12:32with
- 12:32our
- 12:32agenda,
- 12:33you
- 12:34know,
- 12:34as
- 12:34opposed
- 12:34to
- 12:35looking
- 12:35at
- 12:35them
- 12:35as
- 12:35full
- 12:36human
- 12:36beings.
- 12:36And
- 12:37when
- 12:37they're
- 12:37full
- 12:37human
- 12:38beings,
- 12:38then
- 12:39they
- 12:39have
- 12:39the
- 12:39full
- 12:39range
- 12:39of
- 12:40emotions
- 12:40and
- 12:40thoughts
- 12:41and
- 12:41attitudes.
- 12:42And
- 12:42you're

- 12:44adult,
- 12:45you're
- 12:45allowed
- 12:45to
- 12:45kind
- 12:45of
- 12:45think
- 12:46these
- 12:46things
- 12:47a
- 12:47certain
- 12:47extent.
- 12:48And
- 12:48I
- 12:48think
- 12:48we
- 12:49could
- 12:49train
- 12:49our
- 12:49students
- 12:50better
- 12:51by
- 12:51having
- 12:52them
- 12:53question
- 12:54more,
- 12:54you
- 12:55know,
- 12:55force
- 12:56them
- 12:56to
- 12:56understand
- 12:57more,
- 12:59and
- 12:59then
- 12:59they'll
- 13:00be
- 13:00better,
- 13:00they'll
- 13:01be
- 13:01better
- 13:01citizens,
- 13:02you
- 13:03know,
- 13:03in
- 13:04the
- 13:04long
- 13:04run.
- 13:04But
- 13:04if
- 13:04you're
- 13:05in
- 13:05an
- 13:05authoritative
- 13:06system,
- 13:08you
- 13:08know,
- 13:08all
- 13:08the
- 13:09way
- 13:09till
- 13:09adulthood,
- 13:10and
- 13:10then
- 13:10we
- 13:10expect
- 13:10you
- 13:11to
- 13:12know
- 13:12how

- 13:16had
- 13:16much
- 13:16practice
- 13:16at
- 13:17it.
- 13:17So
- 13:17there's
- 13:17a
- 13:17fundamental
- 13:18shift
- 13:18in
- 13:19the
- 13:19role
- 13:20of

- 16:44before
- 16:44they
- 16:44enter
- 16:44the
- 16:45classroom,
- 16:45and
- 16:45then
- 16:46also
- 16:46knowing
- 16:46and
- 16:46then
- 16:47the
- 16:47process
- 16:47of

- 16:48know
- 16:48who
- 16:48your
- 16:49students

- 16:50beyond
- 16:50their
- 16:51categories
- 16:51or
- 16:52demographics
- 16:53in
- 16:54order
- 16:54to
- 16:54be
- 16:54able
- 16:54to
- 16:55make
- 16:55a
- 16:55deeper
- 16:55connection.
- 16:57To
- 16:57be

- 17:10lot
- 17:10of
- 17:11actually

- 22:14really
- 22:14important.
- 22:15So
- 22:15it
- 22:15would
- 22:15be
- 22:15evident.
- 22:15So
- 22:15there's
- 22:16lots
- 22:16of
- 22:16ways
- 22:16that
- 22:16I
- 22:16think

- 22:20simple
- 22:20way

- 22:59the
- 22:59actual
- 23:00physical

- 23:08I'll

- 23:08example.
- 23:09We
- 23:09have
- 23:10these
- 23:10beautiful,
- 23:11like
- 23:11cloud
- 23:11light
- 23:12covers
- 23:12and
- 23:12people
- 23:13always
- 23:14comment
- 23:14on
- 23:15seeing
- 23:16just
- 23:16the
- 23:17cloud
- 23:17light
- 23:18covers,
- 23:18right.
- 23:20While
- 23:20it
- 23:20seems
- 23:21like
- 23:21something
- 23:21small,
- 23:21it's
- 23:22there
- 23:22for
- 23:23us
- 23:23for
- 23:23sensory
- 23:24needs,
- 23:24right?
- 23:25But
- 23:26it
- 23:26allows
- 23:26people
- 23:27to
- 23:27feel
- 23:28as
- 23:28though
- 23:28like
- 23:28this
- 23:29place
- 23:29could
- 23:29be
- 23:29somewhere
- 23:30that's
- 23:30bright,
- 23:30that's
- 23:30welcoming,
- 23:31somewhere
- 23:31that
- 23:32could
- 23:32remind
- 23:32me,
- 23:33right.
- 23:33Of
- 23:33whatever
- 23:34I
- 23:34might
- 23:34need
- 23:35can
- 23:35be
- 23:35present
- 23:35here.
- 23:37And
- 23:37I
- 23:37think
- 23:37that
- 23:37that's
- 23:38something.
- 23:39When
- 23:39we
- 23:39think
- 23:39about
- 23:39the
- 23:40physical
- 23:40space,
- 23:41right.
- 23:41What
- 23:42type
- 23:42of
- 23:42things
- 23:42can
- 23:43we
- 23:43incorporate?
- 23:44Whether
- 23:44that's
- 23:45representation
- 23:45and
- 23:46images
- 23:46of
- 23:46various
- 23:47types
- 23:47of
- 23:47individuals
- 23:48that
- 23:48reflect
- 23:49the
- 23:49human
- 23:49diversity
- 23:50that
- 23:50exists
- 23:50in
- 23:51the
- 23:51world.
- 23:51So
- 23:52that
- 23:52then
- 23:52students
- 23:53and
- 23:53educators
- 23:54can
- 23:55really
- 23:55have
- 23:56a
- 23:56space
- 23:56where
- 23:56they
- 23:57not
- 23:57only
- 23:57feel
- 23:58seen,
- 23:58but
- 23:58also
- 23:58can
- 23:58create
- 23:59feelings
- 23:59of
- 23:59belonging.
- 24:00And
- 24:00just
- 24:00by
- 24:01what
- 24:01we're
- 24:01doing
- 24:01with
- 24:01our
- 24:02physical
- 24:02spaces
- 24:02and
- 24:03what
- 24:03we
- 24:03choose
- 24:04to
- 24:04have
- 24:04as
- 24:04representative
- 24:05of
- 24:05various
- 24:06identities.
- 24:07It
- 24:07seems
- 24:08like
- 24:08something
- 24:08really,
- 24:08really
- 24:09simple,
- 24:09but
- 24:09yet
- 24:10it's
- 24:10so
- 24:11profound
- 24:12that
- 24:13we
- 24:14spend
- 24:15so
- 24:15much
- 24:15time
- 24:16in
- 24:16these
- 24:16spaces
- 24:17and
- 24:18does
- 24:18the
- 24:18space.
- 24:20Because
- 24:21if
- 24:21we
- 24:21build
- 24:21on
- 24:21that,
- 24:23we
- 24:24can't
- 24:24really
- 24:25forge
- 24:25these
- 24:25relationships
- 24:26that
- 24:26Neil's
- 24:27talking
- 24:27about.
- 24:28If
- 24:28we
- 24:28bring
- 24:29students
- 24:29into
- 24:29spaces
- 24:30where
- 24:30they
- 24:31don't
- 24:31feel
- 24:32right,
- 24:32where
- 24:33they
- 24:33don't
- 24:33see
- 24:33themselves,
- 24:34where
- 24:34they
- 24:34don't
- 24:34see
- 24:36that
- 24:36this
- 24:36space
- 24:37is
- 24:37a
- 24:37space
- 24:37for
- 24:37them,
- 24:38then
- 24:38how
- 24:38do
- 24:38you
- 24:38engage
- 24:39them
- 24:39in
- 24:39a
- 24:39relationship
- 24:40and
- 24:40in
- 24:40a
- 24:40conversation
- 24:41that's
- 24:41going
- 24:41to
- 24:41do
- 24:41what
- 24:42Neil
- 24:42was
- 24:43talking
- 24:43about.
- 24:43So
- 24:43those
- 24:44are
- 24:44huge.
- 24:44And
- 24:45then
- 24:45remembering
- 24:45Jim's

- 26:57It's

- 27:09a
- 27:09sense
- 27:10of

- 27:10when
- 27:10they
- 27:11feel
- 27:11seen
- 27:11and

- 27:13reflects
- 27:14who
- 27:14they
- 27:15are.
- 27:16Those
- 27:16are
- 27:16the
- 27:17places
- 27:17that
- 27:17you
- 27:17want

- 27:18It
- 27:18feels

- 27:20that's
- 27:21what
- 27:21you

- 47:27one
- 47:27Thing,
- 47:28I
- 47:28think
- 47:28we
- 47:28should
- 47:28just
- 47:29listen
- 47:30to
- 47:31the
- 47:31people
- 47:31that's
- 47:32in
- 47:32our
- 47:32buildings
- 47:33currently.
- 47:33So
- 47:34I
- 47:34think
- 47:34the
- 47:35answers
- 47:35are
- 47:35not
- 47:36out
- 47:36there
- 47:36somewhere.
- 47:37They're
- 47:37often
- 47:37just
- 47:38within.
- 47:38If
- 47:38we
- 47:39would
- 47:39listen,
- 47:39talk
- 47:40to
- 47:40the
- 47:40people
- 47:40and
- 47:40then
- 47:40really
- 47:41listen
- 47:41to
- 47:41what
- 47:41they
- 47:41have
- 47:41to
- 47:42say
- 47:42about
- 47:43what
- 47:44we
- 47:44can
- 47:44do
- 47:44to
- 47:44improve
- 47:45what's
- 47:46actually
- 47:46existed.
- 47:47And
- 47:47I
- 47:47think
- 47:47if
- 47:47we're
- 47:48guided
- 47:48by
- 47:48this
- 47:48question
- 47:49of
- 47:49what
- 47:50is
- 47:50the
- 47:50most
- 47:51beneficial
- 47:52to
- 47:52the
- 47:53student.
- 47:54So
- 47:54that's
- 47:55regardless
- 47:55of
- 47:55all
- 47:55the
- 47:55other
- 47:56mandates
- 47:56that
- 47:56we
- 47:57have,
- 47:57but
- 47:57what's
- 47:58going
- 47:58to
- 47:58be
- 47:58most
- 47:58beneficial
- 47:59to
- 47:59the
- 47:59student?
- 47:59And
- 48:00oftentimes
- 48:00that
- 48:00answer
- 48:01might
- 48:02contradict
- 48:03what
- 48:03it
- 48:03is
- 48:03that
- 48:03we're
- 48:04most
- 48:04focused
- 48:05on,
- 48:06and
- 48:06it
- 48:06will
- 48:07help
- 48:07us
- 48:07to
- 48:07make
- 48:08the
- 48:08proper
- 48:08adjustment.
- 48:09But
- 48:09I
- 48:09would
- 48:09say
- 48:09listen
- 48:09to
- 48:10the
- 48:10people
- 48:10that's
- 48:10in
- 48:10the
