Your description of the odious Stephen Miller deserves kudos—and the description of this young teacher’s courage is inspiring. At the rate things are going, it’s a sure bet that the Ukrainian population will be smarter and better educated than America’s citizens in a matter of years. Our lack of critical thinking and our utter ignorance as a population have landed us where we are today. Social media is undoubtedly a contributor, but rank laziness is perhaps the bigger culprit. Thank you so much for keeping the focus on how the people of Ukraine continue so valiantly to struggle.
Sincere thanks for sharing your thoughts, Meg. I fully agree with you about Julia's inspiring courage -- she embodies Ukrainian resolve -- and the sorry state of American education (and critical thinking). Here's hoping there are brighter -- as in more enlightened -- days ahead.

Great points, Margaret. I am pretty sure Ukrainians already are smarter.
