From her more like-minded speeches, Erin sublimates a questão do preconceito e frisa the importance of lidarmos com a herança do pasado that we receive:

A task of education is precisely to present the world as gerações do present, tempting faces aware that a world appears that is or the comum of multiple human gerações.

Such relationship will be given, first, no sense of preserving or treasure of past gerações, isto é, no sense of a geração do present take or care of trazer to this world its novelty if it implies alteration, até or irreconhecimento, of own world, of collective construction of past.
