LIFELONG LEARNING
The United States has become increasingly divided. Hate has run rampant, and conversations with those that hold opposing views can be fraught with disdain and a lack of understanding. Stephanie Korcheck, Lifelong Learning SMTX assistant director, wants to provide the community an opportunity to have calm, constructive political discourse in a structured and safe setting. There will be five sessions occurring from 2 to 3:30 p.m. every Monday from Sept. 23 until Oct. 28, except for Oct. 14, at the San Marcos Public Library.
“I think irrespective of our political beliefs, we can't even talk to one another anymore,” Korcheck said. “The age-old adage of not talking about politics or religion with those we love has too often resulted in not talking at all to family members and friends. A lot of families and a lot of friendships have been irrevocably broken because of the climate that we're in, and I just can't stand that.”
