American society remains hypersensitive and concerned about cultural appropriation in the form of costumes at this time of year, while turning a blind eye to the target placed upon our children. It may have been a new week, but it was the same old hijacking of our children’s innocence, though it grew more wretched, reaching a new precipice, as a jury in Dallas, Texas determined that a mother could chemically castrate her seven-year-old son despite objection from the boy’s father. #KatiePetrick
