Today we are with Dr. June Klees. Dr. June is a Community college humanities & social-behavioral sciences instructor. While she focuses on history, she has taught in the areas of cultural diversity, education, geography and the first-year experience.
Dr. June has also helped establish the Compassionate America Message. What Compassionate America stands for is nothing less than what Compassionate Americans from all walks of life have done in their daily lives throughout our history. It isn’t unique to America, but it acknowledges that the “Spirit of 1776” called for the fundamental rights and freedoms of humanity to be recognized, honored, and respected under the rule of law. This value system has woven itself into the fabric of America in different ways and ONLY has ever been maintained from generation-to-generation by Compassionate Americans who love their country…
The rest of this pledge can be found at compassionateamerica.org…it will be in the show notes. In the spirit of our Season 4, 'Shared American Ideals', we just had to have June on and are excited to have you hear today.
"It isn't about getting stuck in the past it is about seeing the past as a vast laboratory and seeing what works and doesn't work in human behavior." - June
