I find it sick that we obsessively focus on killers and war and that we have a fetish for everything military. We need to stop glorifying war and start teaching about peace makers. THOSE are the people we should be learning from. Yes, let's learn the mountaintop speech. But we also need Gandhi, Cesar Chavez, and so many others. We marginalize the teaching of human rights...and that's just awful.

Thank you, Charles, for this essay. I am now a follower and subscriber.
