Welcome to America, where everyone is included because the media assures that that everyone embrace the notion of inclusion, regardless of religious beliefs and values. In fact, do you oppose traditional American values? You’re included. Are you gay? You’re included. Are you a Lesbian? You’re included. Are you a biological man but feel woman at heart? You’re included. Are you an individual who requires a “safe space” where no opposing ideology is allowed because you would feel threatened? You’re included. Lawmaker’s push to assure that no one is excluded, while advertisements and the media strongly support the lawmaker’s agenda.

Because the founding fathers refrained from freeing the slaves, when they had the chance right from the start, the country faced over 200 years of devastating racial tension. It was not until the late 1800’s that slavery was outlawed by the ratification of 13th Amendment (Klein, C. ), and not until the mid 1900’s that black and white individuals could co-exist.

Especially, on an issue that is still not widely accepted. Did they not realize that posting an advertisement dedicated to real mothers but including a transgender mother would cause backlash? This is a perfect example of how the media uses their power to try to include all people. I believe that a line must be drawn and the concept of inclusion should not be such a pressing issue at this time. The country is facing more important foreign and domestic issues that must be tackled before we continue fighting for inclusion. African-Americans had to become equal to whites, there is no argument against that. Women had to become equal to men, there is no argument against that. Every American is equal and there is no argument against
