This man is my hero. I admire his bravery and forthrightness in articulating everything I've been secretly thinking all year.

Among other things, he's the first parent I've heard object very specifically to the hidden-but-shocking elements in the BLM school curriculum, to which my daughter was subjected this year. I suspected most parents didn't take the time to clink through the curriculum links and assumed it was anti-police brutality-against-Blacks, a sentiment with which most rational people can agree, rather than explicitly anti-science, anti-nuclear-family, anti-heterosexual (what sexuality has to do with police brutality is far beyond me), and racially polarizing to a degree that strikes this liberal as toxically unhealthy.

Bravo, Mr. Guttman.

Thank you, Carmen, for adding your liberal voice to the conversation!

What we see going on now is FAR beyond what we have ever seen in American politics or society (at least in my lifetime).

It's beginning to feel like a "bully pulpit" by the loudest (and most angry) voices and I strongly believe that both liberals and conservatives can see the damage and unintended (by people of reason) consequences this is capable of creating.

BRAVER ANGELS is all about finding that common ground on which all of us can agree, without expectation of changing deep beliefs or principles, and work for.

All people of goodwill, let's come together!

And, Thank You, Mr. Guttman for your moral courage! God Bless You and Your Family!
