I have wanted to write this piece for awhile now. For almost two months, in fact. I have held off on writing this kind of post because it involves sensitive material and it is on such an emotionally charged topic. Plus, this kind of material has never been the focus of this blog, which has been on-the-field issues.
I have also been apprehensive in writing about this because it definitely puts my beliefs out in the open. There is a certain amount of risk in putting yourself out there on topics such as this. Plus, I run the risk of alienating some of my regular readers. But a writer who is vulnerable, shares his/her opinions, and is honest is the kind of writer I am drawn to. With this week being Easter, I am even more convicted to publish this piece. So, here goes.
