Today's Story from Our Flag
After the embarrassing and disgusting display of incivility and disrespect during the Presidential election debate on Tuesday, it's only fitting to have another "Be Respectful" reminder from Our Flag for this Friday.
Here are a couple appropriate quotes to guide us toward being better citizens to and for each other:
(relayed by a nonpartisan, student-inspired, Veteran-led nonprofit whose mission is to build better student citizens)
"A healthy democracy requires a decent society;
it requires that we are
honorable, generous, tolerant and respectful."
-CFW
"This country is not going to progress
if we can't have decent civil conversations
and be respectful to one another."
-AR
