Become involved in the process. To quote, "we will not go quitly into the night....."
It is amazing that with the right to free speech, there are things that cannot be said for fear of offending someone. I am certain that at the founding of this country many things were said that might be termed as offensive, but that did not stop the dialouge or the debate.

Education of our children begins in the home. Parents need to monitor what our children are being taught and attend the PTA programs, know your child's teachers. Teach your children to be independant thinkers and not followers of the herd. Also, make in mandatory that High School students read A BOLD PIECE OF HUMANITY by Bill O'Rielly.
