Behind the glitz, tweets and presidential seals, Donald Trump is just a man. He’s a man who has said and
done some very bad things that lead me to believe he may not be very nice.
I always want to protect my children from bullies as they grow and bullying becomes an unfortunate reality.
But even more so, I never want them to become bullies. Zero-tolerance policies common in schools would
discipline any student using language like Trump routinely uses in an attempt to eliminate the bullying behavior.
Elementary school students are not allowed to model the behavior they see from the sitting president.
Success is a worthy goal and I hope I give my children the tools to achieve their own definition of success.
But success is not the one and only goal to chase in life. Whether my children grow up to be professional street
performers who juggle fire for tips in a can or real estate moguls, I just hope they also have character and
integrity. I hope I raised them to be good humans.
I want to give my children the strength and courage to stand up for what is right, even if it’s difficult. It’s my
job to monitor who influences my children, helps shape their character and molds them into the contributing
adults our society depends on. I know I don’t want that influence to come from Donald Trump.
No, my son, your mother does not like Donald Trump.
