In an otherwise polarized political climate, we can learn something from the diverse parents, from liberal hippies to conservative Christians, who have chosen to homeschool their children. 

Auburn, Alabama is nicknamed “the loveliest village on the plains.” But ugliness threatened to descend on it last Tuesday when outsiders came looking for a fight. Thankfully, residents and Auburn University students refused to oblige, much to their honor and wisdom.

We hear angry complaints from Trump's enemies that he is overstepping his authority, and they are right to say so. They didn't say the same of Obama when he was behaving in many of the same ways, but they did when Bush was President. The same is true of Trump supporters who were outraged at Obama, happy with Bush, angry with Clinton, etc. The problem with this inconsistency should be apparent, if not obvious. But is the problem rooted in the parties, their members, or our secession of authority in the first place?
