It was an eventful weekend. Friends, old and new, work, political work and protests kept my head spinning. It’s good to be settled in and back to our daily discussion. Political work was the focus of my Sunday office time. Candidate qualifying is behind us and it’s time to get to know these folks. We have a job to do, as do they. It amazes me how some of them do not seem to get that.
The Dobbs decision was released by the Supreme Court Friday and thereby, Roe v Wade is overturned. The country reacted in tumult. Protests and misinformation rage across the country and social media has become an even bigger garbage pit than it was already known to be.
Americans have lost the ability to debate, respect differences of opinion and realistically look at almost any situation. We are smarter than this, or at least we used to be. Today, we look at the issue, not through a religious or moral prism- nobody’s changed their mind on abortion as a result of the decision, but with a view to who we are and how we act when controversy erupts. Do you know anyone who has changed their position on abortion because of this? I’d give that legitimate caller unlimited time to tell us how it made the decision for them. Instead, we’ll be better served by seeking a way to disagree without the idiocy and violence that is all too common in America today.
An insidious agenda is at play in our schools. We would all like to think it’s not happening here in Brevard, but it is. In hour three we’ll talk to a Brevard parent who will shock us with what’s happening in our schools. Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich also joins us as we consider the battle for our kids, our schools and the country.
