It saddens me to hear that kids are afraid of going to school or have been ostracized at school because of the results of this presidential election. In my mind, this is a form of bullying, and bullying cannot be tolerated!
A quote by Stephen Carter states, “Teaching civility is an obligation of the family,” and I agree. Therefore, it is my hope that parents will use the election process as a teachable moment to have an open dialogue with their children on the overall voting process, the three branches of government, the historical/current views of Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Independents, and the Tea Party, the impact of elected officials on the local, state, national and international levels, and respect for differences.
The election is over, and it’s time for this bickering to cease and for parents to lead by example for the sake of our children…our future!
