Yesterday as a teacher, I asked my students to be respectful of the peaceful transition process, remember that our system is based on BOTH majority rule AND minority rights, and cautioned them to be diligent in holding the elected accountable. I plan to do the same. Today, as a citizen, I march! This anonymous post sums it up for me today and going forward:
PLEASE READ:
“I listened as they called my President a Muslim.
“I listened as they called him and his family a pack of monkeys.
“I listened as they said he wasn’t born here.
“I watched as they blocked every single path to progress that they could.
“I saw the pictures of him as Hitler.I watched them shut down the government and hurt the entire nation twice.
“I watched them turn their backs on every opportunity to open worthwhile dialog.
“I watched them say that they would not even listen to any choice for Supreme Court no matter who the nominee was.
