Violence doesn't solve anything, it's not just Ferguson.

Dear all of us,
When did it become acceptable to commit violent acts? When did it become acceptable to threaten children? I truly do not understand what is going on in our country.

Watch this video. This is a school board discussing the fact that there are 20 kids with food allergies in the school. One school board members jokes that the children should be shot. The rest of the members laugh. In what capacity is this ok? Now we joke about kids being shot because of a medical disability. Really? I am stunned. I do hope that this video becomes viral. I do hope that there are consequences for this. It is obvious that this board does not care about children at all.

Ferguson-There are no winners. We have all lost. A boy lost his life. A police officer has had his life turned upside down. If you do not agree with the verdict, how does violence make it better? I understand peaceful protests and I support peaceful protests. Looting, violence and the like will not bring Michael Brown back. Honest, difficult discussions will not bring him back either. However, honest and difficult discussions may help to keep the peace.

I am begging now. Think about what you say and do. Take a breath. Don't jump to stupid speech and dangerous actions.
