Thanks for pointing this out. Misinformation and disinformation about Ukraine is flying around at warp speed right now. That's why this op-ed from a few weeks back questioning the usefulness of teaching media literacy to kids really ticked me off. Look for a future op-ed from yours truly!
Just read where the gQp majority of the Southington town council voted against raising the Ukrainian flag. This exemplifies that the “Know Nothings” are back and in this case their not so hidden agenda is to make sure the rainbow flag is never flown! Good Christians all I bet!!
Bristol has this same kind of regime in power now...as a former council member and a concerned citizen it depresses me watching these short sighted people in leadership positions but I am too old to put my hat back in the ring:((
Does NOT posting a Ukrainian flag say you support Russia's invasion? I mean, I don't have a Ukrainian flag at my house, but c'MON. This is your chance to do something, a small thing. Just do it.
Not sure what this reply means. I have no problem showing the flag of Ukraine. My initial post reflected the fact that towns like Southington that are being run by Putinistas refuse to fly that flag.
I don't, either, and I'm sorry my reply wasn't clear. I'm saying that I don't have a Ukraine flag to fly at my home, but that doesn't mean I support the invasion. Far from it. For municipalities, flying a Ukrainian flag is a small show of support, but it COULD mean something. THAT's what I meant to say.

I look forward to that. Arguing against media literacy in our Misinformation Age seems stupid-on-a-stick.

I saw that, too, in my Courant. And they really ARE the Know-Nothings. And they seem proud of that.
