Everyone, Democrats and Republicans, should tune in. These young people have been doing an amazing job. Rather than pics of bad haircuts or videos complaining about their parents, most have been working, staying engaged, and figuring out life--while social distancing./2
And yes, making some silly Tik Tok videos./3
We need to be aware of what they sacrificing, not just what they have lost. Here is my take in @TheAtlantic./4 theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
When I think of the Class of 2020, the lyrics from Little Feat’s “Willin” come to mind: “Well I've been kicked by the wind, robbed by the sleet Had my head stoved in, but I'm still on my feet and I'm still, willin'”/5
Anyway, put your politics aside and let’s give these kids the kudos they deserve for providing us a shining example of how to do this the right way./end
