People may have certain lived experiences...

People may have certain lived experiences but what are we nurturing in the minds of young people?    You could make a lot of cash encapsulating the dyslexia and dichotomies of America into an angry gelatin capsule or two called "Sodomy of grand children sold to gay people  for church grandma's mortgage, attitudes, Benjamins and respect for resilience". I don't really understand it but I saw it in a docudrama the other day about life and music in Watts in the year 2000.   There has to be a reason why there is a market for that sort of thing. The anger might also sell very well with those other families' children; the families who put MLK children's books in the Christmas stockings.   Yes. People want to share their memories but what is being magnified to the potential detriment of a refugee who attended free school in an environment with a 3% black population near a golf course in the 1980's with lots of finches and a teacher named Steeles? You seem to think you had the right to steal essays for an athletic scholarship but if you faked your address and a baby to play sports in a neighborhood other than the slightly more glamorous area where your family really lived, then you could have gotten a grant and lived in the same public housing apartment you obtained faking a baby  and wrote your own brilliant stuff and you would have felt really good and self- appreciated. You could have sold your own essays also to negate yourself instead of someone else's.  Have you heard of Bell Hooks?
