Listening one night this week to Judy Woodruff’s follow up conversation with a group of Virginia voters about how they felt about President Trump a year into his presidency, I was struck again by the one comment his supporters invariably say: “He tells it like it is.”
“Telling it like it is” really means, “Somebody important else feels the way I do.”
I’ve been trying to think whether I’ve ever heard anyone make that comment about a teacher or a school administrator.
So far, I’ve not thought of one.
