Now what? What will YOU do now? You see, if you love America, if you support the constitution and the idea of equal justice under the law—if this sham trial and corrupt, illegal and unconstitutional proceeding anger you, then YOU must get involved in politics. YOU have a role to play in creating the solution.
Totally agree! Each of us has a roll to play in shifting the culture.
Case in point, I applied for a vacancy on the Edmonds School Board and was interviewed last night. There were only two applicants.
The board chose a man, with a rainbow family, who is a retired school district teacher and current teachers union advocate. Pretty sure they planned to pick him regardless. And he is also my neighbor (3 doors down) since 2005, flies the flags year round.
I applied to serve as a mom whose kids went through the district. One utilizing special needs, the Deaf and Hard of Hearing program and my other son was at the parent participation program and was part of a robotics program. I wanted to help for the good of all students.
The entire focus of our district is equity, making sure our students feel like they belong and molding them into world citizens. All crazy! And abusive.
I believe the meeting was recorded last night on the district site, but as of today has not been posted.
When I asked the board what's the biggest challenge it faces, one noted the poor test scores - attributing it to the fact so many of the students have experienced trauma. Another noted students not feeling like they belong.
When I asked what they considered their greatest achievement I was told that was not an appropriate question as the board was not being interviewed. Telling, don't you think?
I didn't apply because I knew I'd be picked, I applied because I was willing to stand in the gap. I was willing to pull the darkness into the light by engaging with those who are leading our children in the wrong direction.
More of us who are common sense, logical, rational thinking people need to continue showing up.
Thank you what you do to educate and encourage us to help make our towns, state and country better.
We need to connect with others who are fighting the good fight where we live. The lie is we are alone and it's a lost cause. For me, it's not over untill my last breath.
Right on Nancy. Coming through LOUD and CLEAR. Thank you.

Thanks for making this effort! Way to go, and don't give up.
