“The truth is that no parent has ever strengthened their relationship with their child by hurting someone else.”

This is so powerful and something I needed to see today. The whole letter packs an emotional punch. Thank you for writing it.

Thank you for your wonderful words that can inspire other teachers to not feel victim to hate and fear, and to unburden themselves of any second guessing that people who care about others can sometimes feel in situations like this. My son has been an amazing 6th grade teacher for over 20 years. I am sending him your letter and book. I am thankful that there are loving human beings in the world like you.
