What Moral Leadership Looks Like

A couple of weeks ago, I saw Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, the new documentary around TV legend Mr. Rogers.  I loved watching Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood as a child, but it wasn’t until I was older when I fully understood and appreciated the cultural and social significance of the show.

I also started to realize that this country no longer has someone to look up to for moral leadership in this country.  It is quite depressing how far away this country has drifted away for right and wrong.  I would like to think that if Mr. Rogers was still alive today, he would stand up for the children who are being taken away from their immigrant parents at the Mexican border,

Kindness and empathy shouldn’t have to be something that has to be debated or taught; it should just be obvious.
