The author, a white girl from Virginia, faced polarized national alliances, nuclear threat, and destabilized social hierarchies.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Coddling of the American Mind" by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt explores the rise of safetyism on college campuses and its impact on students' mental health and critical thinking skills. The authors delve into the emergence of a culture that prioritizes emotional safety over intellectual engagement, examining the influence of three "Great Untruths" on this trend. They discuss how the i.Gen, with their extensive social media use and exposure to constant social comparison, experiences heightened rates of anxiety and depression. The book analyzes how paranoid parenting and the decline of free play have contributed to students' fragility. Additionally, the growth of campus bureaucracy is explored, revealing how overregulation inadvertently reinforces the idea that students are weak and unable to manage conflicts on their own. The authors propose solutions for cultivating resilience and encouraging intellectual exploration in young people.

Being Black in America's Schools...

Brian Rashad Fuller

In a polarizing and racially divided America, what do children of color learn about themselves before they even go to school? How do they see themselves and is that image only exacerbated by spending twelve years in a public education system that perpetuates negative stereotypes? Brian Rashad Fuller personally knows that the impact of low expectations can be devastating. He aims to make a difference in this humanizing and very personal portrayal of what it means to be Black in America's schools. 
 
 
 
As a Black man who has spent his life as a student and an educator, Brian shares his own story of navigating the world, overcoming his family struggles, and eventually entering an educational system that he believes is inherently racist, damaging, and disserving. He exposes the challenges Black students face and offers a firsthand account of the emotional and psychological impact made by teachers, administrators, policies, practices, lessons, and student interactions. Most Americans are looking for answers on how to improve our education system—as illustrated by the critical race theory debate—but have not fully understood the lived Black experience, until now. With powerful insight into a thoroughly American institution, Brian offers present-day solutions, and liberating hope, for a centuries-long issue, as well as a galvanizing and radical step forward.
