Letter to the Editor: there is hope when young people have such great concern

To the Editor:

I just read the letter that those three Shorewood students composed and will deliver to Governor Inslee today. (Op-Ed: Gov. Inslee bring in the National Guard)

I want to commend them for their fine thoughtfulness and expression of concern for the safeguarding of our citizenry and the protection of our wonderful city as well. There is Hope when young people have such great concern and willingness to speak out to avoid catastrophe and mayhem.

I feel encouraged that such integrity and call for restraint to avoid dire consequences can rise from the youth who will inherit this fractured, polarized nation and world. May this Force for right action be with them and their foresight be honored. Perhaps Leaders of this stature will arise to save not only our own beloved democracy but our very world and planet that is so severely damaged and threatened with extinction.

Sign me  "Encouraged and Grateful"
