Ever get the feeling that you've already died and we're all living in some kind of afterlife?
That's kind of what this thought-provoking and very #weird philosophical essay is about.

When someone tells me that they are "unfiltered" and will say whatever comes into their mind, I must assume they are claiming the right to be inconsiderate and careless of my attention—not exceedingly honest, necessarily.

I do appreciate my MacBook Air... but God help me if I'm ever spending significant time wearing a computer ON MY FACE.

#[0] #[1] That's the question. How do you teach somebody with making them hate you? And ultimately voting against you?
Apparently, Scholastic objected to the author's note, not the story—which speaks for itself. I believe they could have talked about racism—I'm asking *how* it could have been done in a way that got the point across, and still got the book published.
I'm trying to get beyond the us/them, either/or thinking. How can we do better?

#[0] As an editor, I wonder if there could have been a way to acknowledge the racism that is the context for this story, without fanning the polarization that is ripping this country apart. Is racism strictly an "American tradition" as the author writes? Isn't there racism in Europe, in Asia, in the Middle East? If we recognize that racism is a deeply human problem, can we address the issue more effectively—without inciting the predictable backlash from conservatives who feel attacked?
