Yes, there is some good news as well. For me it is the outpouring of support for the targeted groups and the pushback against all this bullying and bigotry. It is bringing out the best in a lot of people.
And I could not be prouder of what is coming out of our college campuses. We spend a lot of time criticizing these kids for all their whining and seeking of “safe spaces”-- and personally I am no fan of those things either. But when push comes to shove they have shown that they know what is important. They are willing to stand up for their communities and push back against things they think will tear those communities apart.
I think as parents we can say we did a pretty good job with these kids after all.
