Today, I taught in a school where this was on the wall in the teachers' lounge. It's a nice reminder to anyone who works with or spends time with little kids, and it's also a nice sentiment to hear on a day where I am saddened to hear that the US military was firing teargas at children. Children. Children who are fleeing violence already.
Something is not right.
The US had weeks to prepare for a large surge of people arriving at the border. They could have adequately prepared the checkpoint to appropriately process the people who are seeking asylum legally. Instead, they shut down the checkpoint and freaked out and shot teargas at a crowd on Mexican soil that was not acting violently (from my understanding of what happened).
Something is not right.
