Reply #83: It's heredity

[MountainLaurel]

Both my great-grandmothers on my mom's side as well as my maternal grandmother were the sort to stand up to society and help people in need. Sometimes, being nuturing and helping the underdog requires a little ass-kicking, that's all.

But most of the time I'm fairly sweet and quiet around new people. O8)

I'm absolutely appalled that they could accuse Liberalhistorian of being a bad parent for taking her child to an antiwar rally. Yes, if he's disruptive in class, that's an issue to discuss, but condemning her politics and telling her son that what she did was wrong. . . that makes my blood boil.

I'm not a parent, but I hope to be, and this is one of my worst nightmares; having to deal with a school administration overtaken by right-wingers.
