Dear Mr. Trump:
I think it's wonderful that you saw a need and decided to step in. I think it's wonderful you want a change for America. I think it's wonderful you have such boldness. However, sir, and I ask this with all due respect, would you please tone it down? You see, my heart is saddened. Why? I hope to have children of my own one day. I am also very thankful to live in America. I believe respect is a necessity. I desire to teach my own children (Lord willing I have some) to respect our President. In school, I teach my students about our great nation's history, and we often talk about respect. We often discuss how to respect ourselves, our peers, and others. It is an important tool in surviving in a third grade classroom. One can't simply allow someone to call another student boogie head. It just won't fly. That sir, is why I am concerned. Your disrespect towards others is being watched. And if you're elected President of the United States, you will be under a constant eye. Please know that young ones are impressed upon so easily, and our country needs you to set an example for them. How can I teach my third grade students that name calling is unacceptable when the leader of our great country does it so very freely? Yes, we have that blessed right of free speech, but sir, please, be more careful with your words. Please use it but don't abuse it. I'm concerned with your derogatory remarks towards women. Don't get me wrong, I'm no feminist. I will not be participating in any bra burnings. I do believe God gave men and women roles. The man is the head of the household, but God did not mean for man to stomp on woman. After all, He created woman from man's side, and I do believe in many instances we are equal. When a couple is united in marriage, they become one. All that said to say, my concern is how you degrade women. I'm fearful this generation's children will grow up hearing you say those things, and they will think it is quite normal, or acceptable. I'm concerned girls will feel like they are 1) less than beautiful because they don't meet your apparent idea of beauty, or 2) they are meat because that's the only way I've heard you speak of women. I'm concerned the boys of this generation will grow up and think such remarks and mindsets are OK, and sir they absolutely are not. I am so glad you want to help make America better, and I pray that whoever God wills will be the next leader of our great country, and if it is you that He wills, I hope you will do just that. On this journey, please remember that words are in fact hurtful. They're extremely powerful. I highly doubt you'll ever read this. And unfortunately, if by a small chance you ever do, I'm fearfully imagining what your response might be. Please remember little eyes are watching, and little ears are listening, and they're learning. I beg you please, set an example for these upcoming generations.
