I think we are getting into the social work material, although I kind of already wrote about it because the Bridge is from social work school. And part of that is about Harlem supporting the Bronx. Which means I am of course not the only literary representative.  But it also means I probably should have listed Langston Hughes in that query. Well I am really sorry but it took me a while to see that as a comp. Partially because it is ridiculous. And yet maybe not. 

Wow I should not have said all that.  Like that is the whole humility problem which is in question. I mean I now have called myself humble in a book and that is the ultimate conceit.

But I got distracted. What I really wanted to say is that the social work school was playing out a lot of storylines, and one of those storylines was that I am a notable child psychologist.  Like in my children's social work class the teacher let all the students share their strategies.  And that guy with the tattoos had the best material.  And I asked him how he was allowed to be in schools like that, because people never let me even wear a bandana.  But I didn't mean it bad but he was kind of tense about it.  But they treated me sometimes like I was a peer of Menuchin and those people, and I was like what could you possibly be talking about.  But it was because I had intellectual conversations with anyone, including children. And they felt that was a breakthrough, to talk to children as equals. And that is an idea of why my books deserve that audience, because I did not know, because I was good for the money, and mindful of them.

But anyway people had cued the school to play the game and treat me both ways, as some kind of psychology legend and as a child abuser.  And they did this by my recommendation from Bobby, who had an actual court case after a grandmother said he abused two kids.  But he had done a lot for them. He did a lot for a lot of people. And I did not read the newspaper story because I don't indulge in base mental behavior and gossip. So some of us stayed his friend, and it was really good people. And he was cleared, but left the organization in other care. It is also possible that the county did it to protect me from BN.

And I still think he probably didn't do anything and either he was repaid for helping people by total betrayal, or if he did do something, I had to eventually say, well I guess I am friends with a bad person. And that is like lutheran theology where you accept the problem and admit the thing that you don't want to be true.  Which is a lot like what happened with gay rights, where people would tell people they were gay, and they said, you know what, I am.  So that is at the heart of NYC and NYU.  And the actual social and spiritual descendants of "protestants," also known as "protestors." So this topic shifts now from a child psychology theme to a theology theme, and my suggestion to the social work people that they also switch from the protestant identity to the lutheran theology identity. I just think that is the thing not to be missed.  

Well some people can see the other thing, which is that the conspiracy is calling the social workers child abusers. I kind of don't see it and am losing my focus.  But maybe someone wanted the social work school to really have people consider me in that category for some reason.  And interestingly, the only thing I have ever done that has hints of that is working at Barnes and Noble. Like I just think the merchandise we have there and its availability to people is really questionable. And yet those people tried to portray me that way to my community, to my latter audiences, and to christian history. When first of all, where did your dollars come from, and second of all, the dirtiest thing I did in the store was work there.
