Peanuts Creator Charles Schulz Shares with a 10-Year-Old Kid the True Meaning of Good Citizenship

Peanuts Creator Charles Schulz Shares with a 10-Year-Old Kid the True Meaning of Good Citizenship

In 1970, when 10-year-old Joel Lin­ton asked Charles Schulz, the cre­ator of Peanuts, “What do you think makes a good cit­i­zen?” Schulz sent the young­ster a short but pithy reply: Dear Joel: I think it is more dif­fi­cult these days to define what makes a good cit­i­zen than it has ever been before. Cer­tain­ly all any of us can do is fol­low our own con­science and retain faith in our democ­ra­cy. Some­times it is the very peo­ple who cry out the loud­est in favor of get­ting back to what they call “Amer­i­can Virtues” who lack this faith in our coun­try. I believe that our great­est strength lies always in the pro­tec­tion of our small­est minori­ties. Sin­cere­ly yours, Charles M. Schulz When this let­ter sur­faced in 2019, Schulz’s wid­ow com­ment­ed, “I con­tin­u­al­ly find com­ic strips that could have been writ­ten for today’s audi­ence.” “This says what needs to be said now.” Need­less to say, the same mes­sage bears repeat­ing in 2024. via Kot­tke Relat­ed Con­tent  23 Min­utes of Charles Schulz Draw­ing Peanuts Umber­to Eco Explains the …

10-year-old boy woke to find family slain in Oklahoma murder-suicide that left 5 dead

A 10-year-old boy woke up Monday in his home and found his family massacred, four of whom were fatally shot by the child’s father who then killed himself, Oklahoma City police said Tuesday. Jonathon Candy argued with his wife, Lindsay Candy, and fatally shot her and then gunned down three of his sons, between the ages of 12 and 18, before he fatally shot himself at his Mirage Street home, Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Gary Knight said during a media briefing. The 10-year-old boy called police about 9:30 a.m. Monday and told them about the grisly discoveries. “Police received a 911 call from a 10-year-old inside the residence indicating … everyone inside the home appeared to be dead,” Knight said. “Make no mistake about it. What happened inside that residence was nothing short of a massacre. Those children were hunted down and killed.” Knight said investigators didn’t know why the boy’s life was spared. The child “woke up and discovered what happened,” Knight said. The shooting victims were identified as Dylan Candy, 18; Ethan Candy, 14, …

The 10-Year-Old Boy Who Has Become the Face of Starvation in Gaza

The 10-Year-Old Boy Who Has Become the Face of Starvation in Gaza

That dovetailed with an account given by an aid group, ActionAid, which said that a doctor at Al-Awda maternity hospital in northern Gaza had told the group that malnourished mothers were giving birth to stillborn children. Yazan’s parents had struggled for months to care for their son, whose condition, experts say, would have meant he had trouble swallowing and needed a soft, high-nutrition diet. After the Israeli bombardment on Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas-led assault on Israel, his parents fled their home, taking Yazan and their three other sons to somewhere they hoped would be safer. Then they fled again, and again, and again, his father said, searching for somewhere better for Yazan, whose condition meant that he could not tolerate the chaotic, unsanitary shelters. Every move was complicated by the fact that Yazan could not walk. His parents could do little but watch as his health steadily deteriorated. “Day after day, I saw my son getting weaker,” said his father, Shareef Kafarneh, a 31-year-old taxi driver from Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza. Eventually, …

10-year-old struck by bullet at Chiefs parade says surviving shooting was a ‘miracle’

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — A 10-year-old boy who was shot at the Kansas City Chiefs victory rally this week said a bullet missed his lungs by centimeters and it’s a “miracle” he’s alive. Samuel Arellano was celebrating the team’s Super Bowl win at the parade Wednesday with his grandfather, uncle and cousin when the fun spiraled into chaos. A fight broke out just after the rally ended, and a crowd began rushing toward the fifth-grader, he said Friday. Samuel Arellano with his mother, Aby Arellano.Maggie Vespa / NBC News What happened next is a bit of blur, Samuel said. He remembers he moved toward a trash can, — something he learned at active-shooting training at school — and two or three shots rang out as he was pushed to the ground and trampled. The next thing the child he could recall was a sharp pain on his right side: “Like something burned. Like a knife burn with the lighter, like someone stabbed me,” he said. But the pain was not overwhelming and he had no visible blood …
