27. "Shunning" is not an option for those of us who serve the public...
I feel the same way you do about the right wing "leaders" and politicians who seek to exploit hate.

But I do not think the solution is to shut out those who may be their targets of choice.

As an educator, I refuse to turn my back on anyone who shows up in my class, no matter what their political or social views.

Real people in the world are more complicated than your "us or them" construct would seem to allow.
