This may be one of my favorite bits of writing I've picked up in quite a long time (perhaps since I read Clint Smith's How the Word Is Passed). I am excited to share pieces of this with my students, too, but it's wonderful and worth reading just on its own without needing to be "instructive" or "good for you". I listened to this (and Clint Smith's book as well) on audiobook, read by the author, which I highly, highly recommend.
