I was a teacher at UC Santa Cruz's English Language International. We had the contract to prepare Fulbright Scholars for entry into their American Universities. Usually, this took place over the summer and our purpose was not so much to teach English, but to teach the way American Universities operated.
My best class one year was a group of Fulbright scholars, among whom were two women and three men from the Sahel. They were bright and industrious but most of all, they were strong men and women, formidable. Even though the purpose of the Fulbright program was to Americanize the Scholars, these men and women were no fools and had their eyes open. I often wonder where they are today back in their home countries.

America’s policy environment is run by its most corruptible and prejudiced- not its best and brightest.
