From the Editorial Board: Americans are moving to places where they can find the politically like-minded. This is a problem for America.
The “Harry Potter” books famously feature a sorting hat, a magical way of determining in which house Hogwarts students truly belong: Gryffindor? Slytherin?that Americans have no need for such sorcery to find the like-minded: Republicans and Democrats are separating physically at such a furious pace, the news agency reported, the ideological divide between the states is now starker than at any point in living memory.
Some of that is a consequence of pernicious gerrymandering, of course, but there is so little common ground these days that Americans increasingly are picking up and moving to where they feel at one with the dominant cultural norms and free to express themselves.
We consider the protection of a state’s children to be a primary duty of all attorneys general, and we respect the rights of parents to guide their children, but that letter was a political salvo, an offensive contextualizing of gay pride with harm to minors, the potential for which exists in people of all kinds.
Target does not force anyone who does not wish to buy its products to walk through its doors, and Americans are free to insist that their children shop elsewhere and to have them join them in protesting in the parking lot if they so choose.Read the latest editorials and commentary curated by the Tribune Opinion team.
