I believe that people are missing or ignoring the extremely important point concerning Rep. Laurel Libby’s censure. Her views may be debatable; people have differing opinions on transgender issues. But one can only have one view on publishing pictures of others’ children without permission. Doing so shows an uncivil, reckless and perhaps sociopathic disregard for children and their safety. As a father and grandfather, I deplore this vicious and mindless act. Censure is, frankly, far too mild a punishment for such wanton behavior.
