Hi Melanie-- You have already Heard from Esteban, who is facing similar
difficulties despite his years of experience with successful alternatives
that benefit everyone.

The ethnic divide in this country is dangerous enough for the president
to get involved, whatever one thinks of his effectiveness, but has a lot
of trouble making this kind of exclusionist-denegrating behavior into
a national concern.

Again, I ask. Is there anything that you can imagine that members of xmca
might be able to do to reconstruct the conditions of your interactions
with your students so that you-all found it more pleasant and productive?
If there were a well articulated "something" we could do, I think you would
find a critical mass of something-doers.
