A group of men, women and children passed, carrying signs that said "We love our gay and lesbian children, brothers and sisters!" I noticed that he was crying, and asked what was wrong. He said, "I would give anything to see my parents in that group. They haven't spoken to me for 15 years." <br /><br />That was the day I began to give a damn.PattiKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894925987580502697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717405548205026477.post-28645444521956692002010-04-02T20:30:07.077-04:002010-04-02T20:30:07.077-04:00Quite a post.

Hinton's That was Then, This is Now with my seventh graders. Mark bashes a kid in the nose for saying something obscene in front of Cathy. He justifies the action by saying that violence is not always physical. This passage in that incredible book speaks to what you are saying. What words can do.SandyCarlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10752798823532580733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7717405548205026477.post-1928064564962931732010-04-02T12:55:14.289-04:002010-04-02T12:55:14.289-04:00I went.
