‘Children are watching’

To the editor:

Bullying is official okay. Example: trampling on a leading presidential candidate because an opponent isn’t polling well. How did this happen? Because a segment of our population has remained silent to avoid conflict and sounding mean. NO MORE. Some of us have decided to push back and use our voice on issues that affect our lives. We may look mean and appear obnoxious because that is out of character for the silent majority. We call for honest debate with facts and decorum without underhanded bullying. Our children are watching.
