I’m sure this man is a fine person but to comment on your post - I absolutely abhor school crossing guards for high school students and - get this - my local UNIVERSITY! It’s infuriating to see the infantilization that goes on in this country day in and day out. I walked to the bus stop each and every day across a busy route. I was taught to look both ways and use common sense. Of course, we have a president who rides a girl’s bike, has bulbous knee pads and wears a huge helmet that makes him look like Michael Dukakis in a tank. What kind of inspiration is that?

It is the kind of inspiration that gives us 20something pajama boys who are unable to dress themselves because they no longer live with mommy.

Things have changed. We can't depend on the civility or consideration of people anymore. Where we used to have all adults watching out for children crossing the street, we have morphed into selfish recklessness and kids risk their lives crossing.
This retired Marine is a true gentleman and he stepped up where others didn't. I'm proud of him - and you should be too.

The school intersection here in Chicago has three stop signs, one crossing guard and two speed bumps for the little darlings. That is how stupid the children and parents have become in the last twenty years.
