You're at the big local game against your rivals. A lot of your friends/collegues and your kids teachers are in the crowd.

They start to play the national anthem and everyone rises... That is almost everyone.

You look around and see a few black guys kneeling in protest and then realize that your son and/or daughter are kneeling as well.

How do you react?

I pull them to their feet and drag them out of there. However, realistically speaking, I'd have raised them better than that and none of us be attending a sports event in the first place.

Well, if there was a bucket of ice water, you can be sure it'd get dumped on them.

How do you react?

It depends on their rationale for doing so.

* The militarization and excesses of law enforcement, and the special interests (see: public sector unions, bureaucracy, deep state) enabling it? I'll pat them on the back for their wokeness.

* Inequality? We'll have a little chat to establish what that really means. I'm not raising any post-Marxists, but I'm not raising mindless drones either.

* Because everyone else is doing it? I'll disown them.
