U.S. post-election post #4: We have to be better

In times of high dudgeon, there’s a tendency to throw integrity out the window. One particularly noteworthy example was the Marn’i Washington, a (now former) manager at FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) who directed government relief workers to not assist people in hurricane-stricken houses with Trump campaign signs.

I’ll make my position clear on this, in case there’s any misunderstanding: As a public servant, you serve the public, and that means everyone.

It was wrong for now-former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis to refuse to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, and it was wrong for Marn’i Washington to declare that Trump voters were not worthy of FEMA aid.

We have to be better than this.
