“There is no formula for this. There are models for cultural responsiveness. There are models for creating trauma informed schools. But there is no one way to create a community of inclusiveness where everyone feels like they belong. The only thing that I’ve seen that is common across communities who have successfully maintained progress towards widening inclusivity is a commitment to their most vulnerable members, a commitment to each other, and a commitment to their community.”

“What’s really interesting to me is that market fundamentalists will cite Adam Smith as if he was Jesus Christ but ignore that Smith connected ethics to economics. Before he wrote The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith wrote The Theory of Moral Sentiments“. He argued that moral judgments based on fairness and justice were necessary conditions for functioning markets.
