Holy cow! The line is being drawn in America. But it's not a political line. It's a division between those who are ruled by fear and those who are not. The president made a statement yesterday that is sending shockwaves throughout the media and the ranks of the lockdowners.
The people who are pushing Covid fears on us the hardest are not applying wisdom to their solutions. They are telling us that it's too dangerous to think about what must be done, we must simply do as we're told. It's never been more important to resist fear and false choices than today.

We hear a great deal about how the current pandemic has affected our kids' education.
