Again, in the Monitor, we are reading about a vigilante group who wants to harass a transgender child at a school sports event. They are calling it “freedom of speech” but this demonstration belongs on the State House steps, not on a school playground. Do these people have no compassion for a minority group who just want to be part of what every child deserves in their school experience. To those in power: Be strong in your resistance to bigotry and bullying.
