It is good mothers and fathers, above all others, who form good people and good citizens.

When children see their mother and father hard at work, they learn the dignity of labor and the reward of self-discipline.

Pre-write for future historians: "Though the insurrection had failed, Republicans used Trump's remaining time to promote white nationalism. On MLK Jr. Day, the administration published a report asserting slavery was both necessary and consistent with the Framers' stated ideals."
