I don't like bullies. I never have. I didn't like them when I was in school and I don't like them when I teach school either. Although I teach students diagnosed with, "behavior disorders" I don't tolerate bullying from them either.

If my students try to bully other students I let them know that we are not on the National Geographic Channel and we don't attack weaker, younger, or sicker kids. That's not how humans ought to operate. I guess I think it's more acceptable for kids to go through a bullying phase as opposed to say an adult running for President of the United States.

As I watched the debate this last week, my blood pressure rose like a tidal wave. I was getting more and more angry. I read somewhere that Donald Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton over 70 times. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but it felt like it as I watched. It was tough. I'm not sure how the woman kept her cool. She must have practiced. She must have work-shopped situations where she was talking and then had toddlers interrupt her, talk over her, and constantly challenge the moderator.

Next it was revealed that Trump was awake at 3:00 a.m. tweeting about our former Miss Universe. When called on this, his response was that at least Americans could rest easy knowing he would be awake to heed the call. The call to insult and shame women? I think I'm good on that, thanks though.

If women are okay with this type of rhetoric from Trump, where are my fellas at? When Trump shames women, he's talking about your wives, daughters, sisters, aunties, nieces, and grandmothers. Is this okay with you? Do you want your daughters growing up hearing the President of the United States referring to her as a "dog" or a "pig?" On the other hand, do you want your sons to hear this type of language and think it's acceptable? Our President is supposed to be a role model for not only Americans, but people around the world.

I don't have all the answers. I know that Hillary Clinton can be polarizing as well. But I also know that she shouldn't have to defend her "look" on national television either. I know that as the greatest nation in the world the United States can do better than a schoolyard bully. I also know that it's up to us. Please vote. It's our voice. Use yours.
