Quotes by Sara M. Barton (?)

“Look at how the news is presented these days. Opinions become facts when they’re delivered by an emotional newscaster who has a political spin of the event he or she is reporting on. We mistake feeling for truth and treat it like it’s evidence, proof that our side is right and the other side is wrong.”
― Sara M. Barton, Miz Scarlet and the Imposing Imposter

“The sad thing is we’ve forgotten how to teach real lessons to impressionable minds. Adults have come to assume kids intrinsically know right from wrong, as if that learning is transferred simply by proximity,”
