I am a teacher, writer, voice-over artist and rationally opinionated observer of American and international society. While my job is to entertain and engage, my purpose is always to start a conversation.
Add the latest skirmish about bathroom usage to the list of phony wars the conservatives believe we are fighting in this country over issues that should have been settled long ago. Like voter fraud, those opposed to bathroom choice have…
