I wanted to mention some sources of many of my ideas about freedom of thought. Alan Watts died about 40 years ago. However, his work in audio, video and text is available on the internet at Alan Watts dot com. A free podcast is also available there. Another person who has influenced my ideas is Michelle Martin. She is a wonderfully talented interviewer and journalist at Amanpour and Company. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/amanpour-and-company/hosts/michel-martin/ One of her excellent articles, called Witness to Doubt, has the subtitle What if the enemy of faith is not doubt but certainty? Witness-to-Doubt
One of the interview sessions that Michel conducted is an enlightening discussion about how several women encountered bigotry and personal challenges in their parenting of children who have mixed ethnic heritage. The women speak about their experiences in caring for their children, either biological or adopted, with some positive and some negative results.
Generally, I think there is much more positive behavior today then when I was a child. In my childhood in the mid-1940s nearly every person or group had extreme racial and religious bigotry, including every church, or nearly every church, and even my own family members. I am personally thankful for the many healthcare providers who helped me to overcome these personal challenges to my own mental and physical health.
