Dear Ann Cannon • How do you discuss politics with your children when politics seep into the school itself? Specifically I’m thinking about the “build the wall” chants from students at a recent Woods Cross High School football game or the way some kids repeat the president’s remarks about grabbing women?
Dear Flummoxed • Schoolyard conversations about a president’s agenda and/or bad behavior are nothing new. I was raising elementary-school-age sons during the Bill Clinton/ Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, and I can TOTALLY promise you I wished they’d been spared discussion of cigars and blue dresses at that tender age.
