1. Michael, 17: I am going 2 do this thread, b/c me and Indigo were the most bullied in school. I am finishing my last year of hs online. I want to talk abt adults seeing White teens like the Covington guys as capable of miraculous change & growth. Give me some time 2 find words.
2. I am a big guy in a chair. I have CP and dyslexia. That's OK, but routinely being called a 'fat Indian f---' and the r-word is not. Last major incident, a MAGA type guy put chewed gum on my wheels. So, I couldn't roll it, innit? And everyone laughed.

1. @Scholastic We are a group of Florida Native teens, ages 15-18. We endorse @debreese's proposal. You must realize that while the readers stories are touching and cover basics ideas of diverse representation and 'mirrors,' you still have a lot of work to do.
