Thank you so much for sharing. Our capacity or ability to observe and understand, without being bullied to conform, is part of who we are as individuals.

As an artist, to read that the Kendall College of Art & Design staff are “preparing the next generation of creatives for an economy that blurs the two.” is a frightening idea.
