Just. Wow.

I don’t have the words today for my students. I mean, I can talk to them about the decimation of the Native American civilization of the United States in the 1800s. It is the elephant in the room that I don’t have the words for. I don’t feel like I have enough information to help them through what is happening to our country. I don’t want to draw upon my experience and knowledge of history to find parallels to this. It is too awful to contemplate.

Today I will tell them I love them and that we will get through it together.
