"... I Don't Owe Bigotry An Open Mind..."

I protest sign I just saw from one of the marches... think it gets the job done

Something I'll teach my kids who are young < 10 and now are politically aware ...

They go to a very racially and religiously and culturally diverse public school and I've wanted to teach them what is best responses when it comes to Trump.

I don't think they should be intimidated by the normalizing of him when the subject comes up.

I think this is too the point and says a lot...

regards

There should be no expectation to give it to those who will not reciprocate.
