House Rock"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Divided Politics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are a divided nation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps that\u2019s not the right characterization:&nbsp;&nbsp;we are actually a fragmented nation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Politically there are Republicans and Democrats.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the Republican Party is splintering over whether to continue the path of Trumpism.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are the \u201cLincoln Project\u201d types, no longer officially Republican at all, who are trying to become the core of a \u201cNew Republican\u201d Party.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are the \u201cold school\u201d Republicans, like Ohio Governor Mike DeWine or Senator Rob Portman, who seem adrift in a sea of Trumpist action.&nbsp;&nbsp;And then there are the Trump followers, not just his family, but those opportunistic politicians who have found a band wagon to ride.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, of course, there are the \u201ccrazies\u201d, from Proud Boys to QAnon remnants, who really aren\u2019t Republican at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then there are the Democrats.\u00a0\u00a0Being a Democrat means being divided almost by definition.\u00a0\u00a0Need an example:\u00a0\u00a0The Mayor of Chicago, a Democrat, elected with the support of the Chicago Teacher\u2019s Union, was at war with that same Union about opening the schools.\u00a0\u00a0The \u201cprogressive\u201d Democrats are scared to death that President Biden will somehow be too \u201cmoderate\u201d, even though he was elected specifically because he was a moderate.\u00a0\u00a0And then the \u201cblue dog\u201d Democrats, the more \u201cconservative\u201d Democrats are searching for a place in their own Party.\u00a0\u00a0Well, they are fewer and far between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Divided Origins<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We are also a nation divided by race and origin.&nbsp;&nbsp;But even that question is changing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Within only a decade or so, there will be no majority race in America.&nbsp;&nbsp;We will be a nation of minorities, including the \u201cWhite\u201d minority.&nbsp;&nbsp;And while we\u2019re at that, even the minorities are splitting.&nbsp;&nbsp;What was once considered the \u201cHispanic\u201d minority, is now seen in more appropriate terms.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some are of Cuban origin, some Puerto Rican,&nbsp;&nbsp;some Mexican, some Central American, some are more American than most other Americans.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We grew up with a \u201cSchool House Rock\u201d view of America \u2013&nbsp;<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5ZQl6XBo64M\">The Great American Melting Pot<\/a>&nbsp;(bring back some memories \u2013 and watch it again).&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;We came from \u201cwherever\u201d (old World) and jumped into the pot \u2013 and all became American.&nbsp;&nbsp;But we know that\u2019s not really what happens \u2013 at least not now.&nbsp;&nbsp;And it\u2019s hard to pick out a dark face in the \u201cSchool House Rock\u201d version though the Indian kid on a bed of nails does make an impression.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe we should view America as a \u201ctossed salad\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead of a \u201cmelting pot\u201d or \u201cstew\u201d, where everything becomes alike, we are a salad where each carrot or onion or tomato remains individual, but contributes to the \u201csalad whole\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-Culturalism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That, by the way, is the essential difference described as \u201cmulti-culturalism\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead of cultures being subsumed by \u201cAmerican\u201d,&nbsp;&nbsp;American is enhanced by different cultures.&nbsp;&nbsp;They all maintain their relevance in an America that is greater than its parts.&nbsp;&nbsp;But multi-culturalism is a direct challenge to the \u201cmelting pot\u201d where all were one.&nbsp;&nbsp;In a more racially focused view:&nbsp;&nbsp;the melting pot made everyone either \u201cWhite\u201d or \u201csubservient\u201d to White.&nbsp;&nbsp;And of course, that\u2019s why the \u201cmelting pot\u201d didn\u2019t work.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you were a person of color, you could never \u201cmelt\u201d into a White society.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The \u201ctossed salad\u201d allows everyone to keep their culture.&nbsp;&nbsp;And while \u201clettuce\u201d may make up more of the salad than any other part, it\u2019s all the other constituent parts that make a salad actually \u201ctaste\u201d good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The German could lose her accent.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Irishman could drop his brogue and Catholicism.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Italian could do the same.&nbsp;&nbsp;All found ways to \u201cmelt\u201d and immerse themselves into the American \u201cmelting pot\u201d of the 1800\u2019s.&nbsp;&nbsp;But when the great migration of Black people from the old South to the North and Midwest occurred around World War I, there was no way for them to \u201cmelt in\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;No matter what else they did \u2013 they remained Black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So when you look back with nostalgia at the \u201cSchool House Rock\u201d version of history (so much more exciting than good old Mrs. Ralston) remember it not only simplified, but ignored many Americans.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was 1977.&nbsp;&nbsp;While there were a few faces of color, there was no mention of slavery, or Hispanic immigration, and their impact on the \u201cAmerican Melting Pot\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;It wasn\u2019t taught in school then either (full disclosure:&nbsp;&nbsp;I was soon to be one of those teachers, and it took years to get over just \u201cteaching what I learned\u201d).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the \u201cdissonance,\u201d the discomfort many Americans feel today is because of this.&nbsp;&nbsp;We were taught one thing, now we are being told we weren\u2019t told the truth.&nbsp;&nbsp;No, Mrs. Ralston or even Mr. Dahlman weren\u2019t LIARS, but they were \u201cvictims\u201d of their own education.&nbsp;&nbsp;They taught what they knew, and they taught their own experiences.&nbsp;&nbsp;But that knowledge and experience didn\u2019t include much about those who couldn\u2019t climb into the \u201cmelting pot\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week (in this year, 2021) a group of parents of North Ogden Charter School in Utah, decided they didn\u2019t want their kids to \u201cparticipate\u201d in Black History Month.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s not the \u201cbad\u201d news.\u00a0\u00a0The bad news:\u00a0\u00a0the school went ahead and allowed them to \u201copt out\u201d, like it was religious or sex education.\u00a0\u00a0The public uproar changed the school\u2019s and even the parents\u2019 minds, but that\u2019s the discomfort America feels with our unlearned, unspoken past and present (<a href=\"https:\/\/kutv.com\/news\/local\/utah-parents-drop-black-history-curriculum-opt-out-request\">KUTV<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acceptance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All of that dissonance flows right back into America\u2019s political fragmentation.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s why working-class White men with high school educations think that the Republican Party represents their interests.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s why there is so much political \u201creward\u201d in packaging campaigns in \u201cus versus them\u201d terms, and in playing to victimhood.&nbsp;&nbsp;And it\u2019s why there is hope for the Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next decades, as we become a minority-majority nation, we also will see the passing of what my son calls \u201cthe old White dudes\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0And with them, goes generations of entitlement and false historical memories.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s not that the younger generation has it \u201call right\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0They are too addicted to their screens and podcasts, too susceptible to the \u201cvoice\u201d in their EarPods that seems to know the answer to every riddle.\u00a0\u00a0But they are different, they have experiences that cross the boundary lines that restricted their parents and grandparents.\u00a0\u00a0So I believe that at least when it comes to this form of single-culturalism \u2013 they may well save us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;No pressure \u2013 of course.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Divided Politics We are a divided nation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps that\u2019s not the right characterization:&nbsp;&nbsp;we are
