Dear HTN friends,
I just want to put it out there as a social studies teacher that this tragic invasion of Ukraine by Russia represents a betrayal not only of Ukrainian sovereignty and autonomy, but also of the Russian people who neither want or support a war against a nation that many see as their brethren. I would encourage you in your support for Ukraine 🇺🇦 to not to take our anger for Putin and his war (which I, too, feel deeply) out on individual Russians or communities of Russians who call our countries home. If the Ukranians can differentiate between the two, so can we. Let us not revisit the crimes we committed against the Japanese living here nearly 80 years ago.
For a deeper statement and many resources, I offer my statement on my journal’s website: assertjournal.com/index.php/assert/announcement/view/7
So although I am happy to take your Russians from you, I needed to say my piece first.

. I am more expressing the idea of why someone alienates these Russian athletes in the west in the first place. Your trade has nothing to do with my sentiments of anti Russian propaganda. lol
