Syda Segovia Taylor—a community development and social justice advocate—has worked with high-profile non-profit organizations for the last two decades, bringing resources to black and Latino communities.

    The great thing about the Baha'i concept of Consultation is how it gets us to the truth, ultimately. . . . Since the 1860s graduate education in the U.S. has become increasingly ideologically liberal (imported originally from Germany). So I don't know if getting a graduate degree, today, in the U.S., especially in a so-called "social science" really educates someone so much as it trains them to think in a particular ideological framework. Ultimately, the Baha'i Faith must be responsible for changing our culture, such as our educational systems, and not itself succumb its ideological worldview. This is a danger ...of so many Baha'is having masters and doctorate degrees, I suppose.
