Cycles of Change

The reasonable voices who recognize that our children need better tools for navigating disagreement must now address the complete picture. Teaching kids to ask "why" before judging others represents a crucial first step toward healing our divided society, but curiosity alone cannot solve every [...]

You turn on the news, scroll through social media, or listen to political commentary, and within minutes you feel angry, frustrated, or hopeless about the state of our country. Your blood pressure rises. You want to argue with someone. You feel like the "other side" is destroying everything you [...]

America stands at the precipice of collapse. The 250-year experiment in democratic self-governance teeters on the edge of failure, not from foreign invasion or natural disaster, but from an enemy within: the complete inability of citizens to engage in civil discourse about the challenges that [...]

We teach children that violence never solves problems while adults engage in campaigns to destroy their political enemies. We demand kids show respect while we dehumanize half the country.
