Red Hens, babies & the great unraveling

At the risk of alienating friends, I want to delve, not too deeply, into the now infamous incident at the Red Hen of Lexington, Va. (not to be confused with the unrelated Red Hen of Washington, D.C.). …

That is, both liberals and conservatives were willing to deny free speech to, and even justify harassment of, those who they believe violate their quite different values. CONT.
