Your 4th paragraph "See me waving?...) elicited a rather strong memory... me standing in the kitchen of my condo in Cheshire (Mind you, I moved out of there in 1990.) holding whatever section of Mother Courant your column was in and thinking to myself, "She gets it." That's when I realized you were sock puppet worthy. *wink wink*
Thank you for writing this. I shared similar thoughts recently in my own essay:
“Over three decades of teaching in a high school, I’ve witnessed this evolution of identity among teenagers — and with it, the students’ natural acceptance and support of diversity. What has become a bona fide culture war across much of America is generally a non-issue in the halls of my high school.“

Honored. Thank you.

It’s the same where I teach. We all need to be a little more expansive in our thinking and thank you for this link.
God, I love you, Susan! You get it. You (hopefully) help others get it. ❤️
If we keep repeating ourselves, they'll get it. That worked for me. I needed to hear it multiple times.
(And I love you, too.)
Amen/Amen/Amen
It's perfect!
No apologies needed. THANK you for this.
Preach!
