The new education program?

To the Editor:

Today may go down as one of the darkest days in history, but let’s think about it. This election has actually enlightened us. Words like misogyny and xenophobia come immediately to mind. 

It’s a good thing because we are going to unfortunately need to use those words to describe the experience of the incoming administration.  That is, if we choose to try describing it.

And, that brings up another part of our election education; choice and choosing. How does anyone make an informed decision without good and accurate information? We have now learned that incomplete or misinformation turns into being able to buy and/or manipulate others. Of course, it helps to have more money than God.

My nine-year-old grandson, despite limited TV contact, cried out when trying to sleep one night before the election. He was thinking about what was going to happen to people who weren’t Christian if the one candidate was elected. His other question was if somebody could really shoot someone and just get away with it.

I guess we will see, my dear boy, we will just have to see.
