I read a quote today about not being afraid to raise dragon slayers in the time of actual dragons.
I’m taking off my teacher hat and talking to you as a parent.
Don’t be afraid to talk to your kids about where we are as a country and where we might go.
We’re raising voters.
Educate them.

I also debated in High School where I was exposed to the real real.
So yes, our education system does not prepare people to be citizens of a democracy... and that is interventional.
Thomas Jefferson wanted to have a national education system, south said no.
The stories we grew up with about people being kept from the truth are about us
The amazing thing is that the truth still leaks out... the hard part is identifying it when it does in a sea of lies.
Agree parents need to educate (whichever political direction they believe in)

Appreciate the wisdom of your posts, KD.
Also a terrific idea 💡
I had hoped my Twitter feed since 2009 would show my grandsons what I believed & was doing during these times-but deleted it when Elon took over our Government.
Hang in there-
pace ourselves 😊

Preparation is the first step in protecting.
I think one things we've witnessed is too many people lack courage
I think about this when I see kids in MAGA gear. They're learning to lie is ok
