"I think one of the best pieces of pedagogical advice I can give to new teachers is this: opportunities for students to surprise you. Make space for them to be creative, take risks, laugh, mess up, and try again. Because they will, and it will be wonderful." - Dr. Mikki Brock, Associate Professor

If I use "woke" as a sneering epithet, it means (1) I'm white or male or straight or Christian, (2) you've just reminded me that (a) not everyone is like me, and (b) they, too, deserve respect, (3) I resent that reminder, but (4) I can't cite a defensible reason for my reaction.
