• White hate crimes, white hate speech. I still try to claim I wasn't brought up to hate. But hate isn't the half of it.

I grew up in white silence that was utterly obsessional. Race was the theme whatever the topic.

  Adrienne Rich

• And how can we ever again succeed in educating children to become moral men and women if, in America's public schools, we consciously deny them all religious instruction, and deny them access to that primary source of morality, God's own word.
