One of my students is Mormon. Another, Seventh Day Adventist. The second one, one of my favorites, told me that she was transferring to another school because other students have been treating her brutally. My heart sank, but I knew that it'll be better for her to get away from her punk classmates.

A lot of times, we try to solve the problems of this world with solutions of the world. And not to undermine the importance of education reform, but sometimes I wonder how different these students would be if they knew Jesus.

I had that thought several times throughout my time at WashU... could never quite work up the courage or the strength to do or say anything. I hear you.
