Another beautiful life lost to hate. Our hearts are with Kameron’s family.

"Eric, trying to have this (civil rights) conversation with you is ultimately like trying to teach a pig to dance, it just annoys the pig. So Eric, sorry to annoy you."

Horrific…. Townspeople need to get on it, since school district hasn’t. Get PEER MEDIATION taught in all District shools. Works wonderfully.
Upper class HS taught first. They teach younger HS and also MS and here in our town just went around and taught 6th graders too!
