AN IDEA SO CRAZY IT JUST MIGHT WORK: Plot twist? UW Madison promotes inclusion through a shared identity. “The University of Wisconsin Madison recently launched a new campaign aimed at unifying the student body by recognizing their shared identity as students.”

What if we did something similar at the national level? Based on our shared identity as Americans? We could tell people that “when your heart is filled with patriotism, there’s no room for bigotry.” Nah, that’s crazy talk.
