What is the saddest thing you've seen recently?

This was the saddest thing I have seen in a long time. That mother violently dragging her poor son away, with a belt in her hand was just horrifying.

It was posted by the wife of one of my former students. She went on a rant about people are either male or female and certain roles come with that. She’s not old, either. Her kids are between 3 and 15.

She is in an interracial marriage. The irony of that in contrast to that meme is apparently lost on her. There was a time when her marriage would have been profoundly condemned. “You don’t mix the races! It’s unnatural!”
