I have been lucky enough to have some extraordinary kids in my life. Not only my daughter, but many of her friends, are people of morality and character that far exceeds the majority of adults I know, or see on television in their capacity as politician, pundit and all-around pessimist. Yes, some of their generation are idiots. The same can be said of every generation – including yours. So that is a moot point.
The generation coming up sees through the BS that older generations have bought into; they see lies as lies and not ‘alternative facts’; they know the difference between right, wrong, and what is worth fighting for. We are lucky that they are our future, and I for one will do what *any* proud American, or proud adult, should do. I will stand with them, offer help and guidance as they take the mantle, and take their rightful place in society. And I will help them make the changes that the generations before them were too scared, or too selfish, to make.
These kids won’t be kids forever. And they see exactly what is being done.
To the Powers that Be: your time in charge is coming to an end. This movement started in Columbine. It started in Sandy Hook. It started at a theater in Aurora, Colorado, and it started in Vegas at a concert. And just recently, it started at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School.
“And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds;
are immune to your consultations, they are quite aware of what they are
going through.”
-David Bowie
