Why does the Hindu Festival of Colors become the "battle of colors" in this piece? If we want our society, and especially our schools, to became less violent, it starts with becoming more aware of the warrior mentality embedded in our language and culture, and making more thoughtful word choices. It is especially important for journalists - at all levels - to be mindful of this largely unconscious bias. Certainly life and society are full of conflicts - but relatively few of them are violent and merit terms like battle, fight, war. There is no need to "fight cancer," for example. We need to cure it, and ourselves.
