—Rep. John Lesch (DFL-St. Paul), District 66A
—Margaret Anderson Kelliher, state House Speaker and Democratic gubernatorial candidate

The depth of ignorance and disregard for the culture of others knows no bounds. There seems to be a lack of awareness that people in foreign countries have their own customs. Showing respect for them is not a sign of weakness. Only in the minds of the incurious and those with self-esteem issues would observing the customs of other nations be viewed as a sign of weakness.

Tarryl Clark is not a representative. She is a state senator. Do you have an internet connection?
