the problem is, Toliver and others like her are turning the US into a mean, terrible evil place.........for real.
Well, maybe. People like Mr. Toliver and doing harm, in my opinion. But the harm they can do is limited -- I still have a great opinion about the US, and feel extraordinarily lucky to live here. There's a LOT to like and be proud of.
It's good that everyone here is free to have their own opinions -- even the people who just want to be negative.
I just wish there weren't so many anti-American folks working in education.
