OK, why hadn’t I ever thought to hang the darn map upside down for just this reason???? Michelle goes away for the summer and while she’s gone, I will hang it upside down. We’ll see how long it takes her to notice and then we will definitely talk about this idea! Thank you!
“My kids will grow up with the Peters Projection map:

The only reason north is at the top– and consider all the positive connotations to “up,” “above,” and “top”– is that the white people live there.”
