1. The behavior and attitudes of parents DO make a difference to their kids

Thank goodness THESE kids were raised right. Their parents taught them to care about racial and ethnic diversity. There is hope for Pennsylvania!

3. This story brings me joy!

There are more sane people in this country. The silent majority is fighting back against the crazies.

I am thrilled this was led by young people.

The old racist farts will die off and the young people will clean up the mess.

5. What the ever loving hell was the justification

Guts 'n nuts might be better listed as guts OR nuts. But, whatever, because those with the latter part probably don't have the required item(s) anyway.

In case there was any doubt. This was/is , though perhaps poorly done.
