There’s been a lot of talk recently about the need to have civil conversations about politics.
To lower the temperature.
To listen to those who disagree with us, and not just yell back and forth.
Yesterday on social media, a resident posted this photo of a sign across from his Maple Avenue North home.
It’s around the corner from Long Lots Elementary School.
And, he says, this is not the first time. Other signs there included profanity, and comparisons of political opponents to animals.
“Several families said that their children have come home repeating the words on the signs, and invoked this as giving them permission to speak likewise,” he says.
There are exactly 7 weeks until Election Day.
Support the candidate of your choice. Offer solid reasons why. Rebut opponents with calm reasons and actual facts.
And for the sake of our kids: Be the adults in the room.
