As a mother, I can't imagine the strength and courage it took to walk her child up to the school house. Salute to this mom who helped usher in a new chapter in American history. RIP Ms. Bridges.
Lucille Bridges, the mother of Ruby Bridges, who walked with her daughter past crowds screaming racist slurs as she became the first Black student at her all-white elementary school, has died at the age of 86.

Married - When are you all having kids?

Someone was murdered. How insensitive to label him her “baby daddy.” We only do this for certain races and certain age groups. Stop it. It’s demeaning. Her “son’s father” or “ex-fiancé” works better.

Can we please stop asking kids who are being antagonized/ bullied to ignore the situation? How about getting on the bullies and their parents. “Your kid can’t attend our program/daycare/school because they aren’t adhering to basic courtesies.”
