text: Some of the papers, with questionable taste, present Mrs. [Alice Roosevelt] Longworth to their readers as the American “Princess.” There is nothing in her ways, bearing, or appearance to warrant the epithet which I give, as printed, in inverted commas.

text: Combining anti-racism and culturally relevant pedagogy with capitalist promotional content could lead some followers to believe that culturally relevant pedagogy is something that can be bought or consumed rather than engaged with intellectually.
