I am at the age where I have many memories over decades of our America’s former presidents, and until this moment in time, I don’t ever recall feeling concerned about how our president was being perceived by our children. Yes, I found myself disagreeing with political and social policies being discussed by our presidents, but I never found them speaking about many of our fellow Americans in ways that showed a lack of an ethical and moral compass.
But now I find myself in a different world, a world where our current president declares by his actions and words that speaking ill of anyone who disagrees with him is perfectly okay.
I have no problem with anyone standing up for one’s beliefs in a strong and passionate way be they political, social or otherwise, but I want my country to be a place where ethical and moral values remain an important part of who we are as a nation. And I want our current president to become a better example for our children and grandchildren in terms of how we behave and how we speak to and about one another.
