What happened at VA Tech is terrible but what also concerns me are copycats and repurcussions against those resemble the coward who took the lives.
Initial reports are pointing at an Asian who pulled thr trigger. This is the time where we as parents have to make a point to the kids that one bad apple does not make a race. We have always been a melting pot where contributions have been made by a multiude of nationalities and I feel that is why our life style is what it is. It is never too early to share that message. In the next few weeks we try to begin the healing time, but many times "hate" will stick out it's ugly head.
I don't want to hijack this thread with a politcal statement, but rather a proactive message to share with your kids.
