Wishful Thinking vs Science

• Take the 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge
• Read the Me and White Supremacy Workbook 
• Why White Students Need Multicultural and Social Justice Education

This is in-essence the 21st-century version of memorizing river names and has nothing to do with what we think of as the 'geographic perspective'. At least show the satellite image and scale bar - that way you can begin to use deductive reasoning and practice 'thinking like a geographer'.
