Don’t fret over antisemitism in schools. We have restorative circles.

My favorite quote about writing — or anything else, for that matter — comes from George Orwell’s essay, “Politics and the English Language”: “The great enemy of clear language is insincerity.” Orwell’s insight was that politicians and institutions use meaningless phrases when they’re trying to obscure the truth, or when they don’t really know what they’re trying to say in the first place. I can only imagine what Orwell would have made of the nonsensical language of social justice education.
