While I was catching a transfer this evening I met a young unhoused person. Started talking to me about subway rats, but ultimately they told me all about red-lining. I respectfully corrected a couple things they told me, but to no surprise, none of it had been learned in school... I was honestly so surprised and impressed by how knowledgeable and considerate they were. When I was leaving I asked how old they were and they said 14. Seemed pessimistic about their own generation though.
