OR, HOW GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER GOT TO BE THE FATHER OF OUR COUNTRY

AT FIRST GLANCE, the story in our local weekly looked to be one those light features that serve as filler on a slow week. It was about the visit of an author to a nearby middle school - one Rosalind Wiseman, seen in the accompanying photo as a smiling, attractive youngish woman in a jaunty scarf.

But less than a paragraph in, the terrible truth became apparent. This was not the kind of visiting author many of us recall from our own school days back in the bad old days of the Fifties and Sixties, the sort who’d maybe read from her latest work of whimsical fiction or offer insights about some aspect of history or science stumbled upon in the course of research. No, the personable, thirty-nine-year old Ms. Wiseman had something entirely different in mind. She is the founder of a curriculum called “Owning Up,” and goes around to schools explaining to kids “how power and privilege relate to unethical, cruel, dehumanizing and bullying behavior.”
