Published 2 years, 9 months ago
Description

Eddie McCarthy, a high school math teacher in Toledo, Ohio, donated a kidney to Roman McCormick, one of his geometry students. Such altruism is newsworthy because it seems increasingly rare. In “How America Got Mean,” NYT columnist David Brooks discusses how the US became “a society that’s terrible at moral transformation.” And his points were reiterated to Dr. Jim Denison during a recent, surprising conversation with a cashier about why she doesn’t like working shifts on Sunday mornings.
