This article critiques the International School of Luxembourg (ISL) for inviting US Ambassador Stacey Feinberg to a Global Issues Network conference, arguing it exposes the school’s selective neutrality. While ISL condemned Russia’s Ukraine invasion, it stayed silent on Gaza and Iran. Students pushed back through poster campaigns and Amnesty International activism. This shows that it is a must to educate the youth to challenge injustice which is essential for building engaged future citizens.

It is our duty to understand the intricate implications of history and connect the dots. America is known as the land of opportunity—but when we take a closer look, these opportunities were seized from the land’s original inhabitants, taken from them by bloodthirsty colonists and given to white settlers like Nicholas Faber of Bauschleiden or Wilhelm Sinner and Pierre Pleschette of Grosbous. I end this article by calling on Luxembourgish-American institutions to reexamine their representation of history to include these hard truths and to make clear the effects of Luxembourgish settler colonialism on Native Americans.
