I’m thinking that two babies lost their mommies today. They’ll never remember their mothers, never remember their smiles, their hugs, their pride. Because of the evil that people are capable of perpetrating upon others; because of the wickedness that a culture can cultivate and nurture and praise; because some “teachers” have the power to teach their students to dehumanize others.

Every time we demean, disrespect, disallow, dehumanize, we risk creating the monster of evil.
