The Observer’s May 6
Opinion page is topped
with a (three-column-
wide, 6-inch tall) Piper
cartoon of a single rose
and the attributes of per-

another Glenn Mollette

“We cannot forget those

Forget the maudlin
platitudes about mother-

many experience as chil-
dren or attain as mothers.

hard-wired for that.
Parenting in our soci-
ety is demanding, varied
and complicated. I have
occasionally told my stu-
dents that their parents
are probably doing the
best that they can and that
they do love them, regard-
less of how it appears. The
job description for moth-
ering reads like the Piper

your life. Coincidentally
perhaps the very qualities
that make “good wives.”
The Observer could have
asked a woman to write an
Opinion page about moth-
erhood. For most genera-
tions, women had few op-
tions: join a religious group,
clean and cook for others,
stay home and care for ag-
ing parents, become a pros-
titute. Other jobs were not
considered women’s work.
As history shows, be-
coming a mother for lack
of other options contrib-
utes to poor parenting.

nately, times have changed
radically since I was a
girl. Now, girls can dream
big. Girls can follow those
dreams. Motherhood is
one of unlimited options.
I thanked my mother for
her full devotion to mother-
ing us, although her life may
well have been more satisfy-
ing personally doing other
things. Her example helped
me realize there were other
things I’d rather do with my
life. She understood.
“We cannot forget those
who served” is the title of
the article about forgotten
remains of soldiers from
World War I and since.
Nice juxtaposition. Moth-
ers should raise children
surrounded in love. Then
the government sends
them to war and has to
be reminded not to for-
get their remains. The
media is not allowed to
cover children returning
in boxes from wars. Too
upsetting? Would it cause
people to question and re-
sist our government going
to war without congressio-
nal consent? War is a huge
money maker for the 1%.
Honor is particularly
due to mothers today
guiding the next genera-
tion to become the change
we so desperately need.

To the Editor:
In 2015 the U.S. De-
fense Department released
a 14-page report on the
national security implica-
tions of climate change un-
derlining the importance
of acknowledging that
it’s happening now, and
identifying the associated
international and national
security risks. The security
risk stems from degraded
living conditions, human
security and the inability of
governments to meet the
basic needs of populations.
Climate change will have
huge implications for our
national security interests
over the foreseeable future
by aggravating existing
problems of poverty, social
tensions, environmental
