So sitting around the dinner table we began to discuss KA Mission project that is due next week. His is the architecturally complex one. I am looking at this monstrosity of a looming project and had an idea.
"KA, I think you should refuse to do a mission as a protest. Why does the state continue to glorify a history of missions that were built through slavery,coercion, and death of the native peoples of the area? Really. I mean it was a horrid time in history. I say you just write a paper about the atrocities suffered rather than glorify a building that is the symbol of human suffering."
"Because mom, I don't think I will get extra credit if I do it your way."
So much for teaching about standing up for what is wrong. Oppression 101-FAIL!!!! Ghandi he is not!
