Mom and dad taught me a long time ago that if you don’t stand up for what is right,

you will fall for anything. Right and wrong does exist. We have become

accustomed to the term tolerance and thus have allowed wrong to go unchallenged

because of political correctness. Tolerance has moved to advocacy. No longer is it

enough for us to be politically correct or silent, we must now become advocates for

things we believe to be wrong or we get labeled as “your just out of it and you are

behind the times.” It doesn’t matter how you package garbage, it is still garbage and

it smells like garbage. No amount of perfume will cover the smell. Marijuana use

is an example. We are losing thousands of kids to marijuana use daily and the

media and social outlets seem to wink at its use as if it is non-consequential in its

impact. Our kids are followers and they have believed the lie that marijuana is “not

so bad.” Students are losing their focus, their desire to succeed, and their zest for

life. A big thanks goes out to so many educational leaders for recognizing the

devastating impact of marijuana on the future of our youth and their renewed efforts

to eliminate it. Now that’s Good News.
