2. I host students from Japan

We have been talking about the election and they are well aware that he is a nightmare with hateful supporters. I had to take them to the home of one of the other host families and when we pulled up, my student said , “oh no” and pointed out signs in the front yard.
Good god! The host mother is disabled, hosts Japanese students, has a live in home health aid from Africa. She is supporting this monster in a man shape who scoffs at her very existence. I don’t understand my hesitancy to point this out to her. I think I will ask her. Because she may as well have had a sign in her yard proclaiming, “I’m a stupid asshole” because that’s how it reads to me
