Letter to the Editor: Golden Rule for 21st century – Sunbury Daily Item

Tweet others as you want others to tweet you read the sign in front of the church. It is the Golden Rule, reworded for the 21st century.

Is it too much to ask that this Golden Rule be modeled and followed by the most public figure in the nation, the President of the United States?

Words matter. Words have consequences. In social media, words can even kill, as evidenced by the lengthening list of teenagerscyberbullied into suicide.

Is it too much to ask that our president show more dignity and maturity than to tweet crass, ugly words about our fellow citizens? You were elected to lead, sir, not tweet. If tweet you must, then at least read the sign in front of the church.

John Deppen,

Northumberland
