HOLLOW HEARTLAND
NICHOLAS ANTHONY LINKE
"You might feel like your state is squeezing you, pushing you out completely. Some are going. More are talking about it.
As that happens, as folks leave, the heartland loses its heart. We are hollowed out, emptied from the inside leaving only the shell of our major cities as supermajority legislatures finally choke out all serious competition to their power.
Pragmatism doesn’t pay like pure power can, and it doesn’t satisfy the ego like pure ideology can. But pragmatism does help society continue to function."
- Adam Sommer, host of
The Heartland POD
I believe that
empowering students with the ambition
to change the world they are inheriting
as well as equipping them with
academic and social tools
to accomplish those changes,
is the true purpose of education.
