Karen, I am seriously at the point of what is going on? I work as an early educator. I knew things were headed downhill awhile ago, yet I said little. I regret that I was not being as vocal as I could have been. . I no longer want to go to professional learning where the hosts tell us their name and their pronouns. I really do not want to start the learning with a land acknowledgement. I really do not want to be told the value of how diversity, equality and inclusion should be a focal point of the learning environment. I am not eager to promote gay and transgendered to young children.

Call me traditional or old fashioned but I think children should be children. I like the values of honesty, respect, kindness, cooperation and caring.

The event in Mount Juliet yesterday was amazing, Karen. Thank you for organizing it. If I had any suggestions it would be to include a social, mingling portion, like maybe an organized lunch afterward, so that like minded people could meet and connect with each other in person. But if you didn’t do that next time I would still go. This is meant as a suggestion not as criticism. I know how much more work that would have been to organize and pulling this one off was difficult enough as it was.
