I know every Christmas song out there.

I know every song about Jesus and Santa, even though we didn't celebrate any of that stuff.

But my folks had the understanding that if we're that...
matched
you know, restrictive and just say no, no, no, without an explanation, instead of just recognizing that let kids be kids, it's going to backfire.

And I'm, you know, still a Muslim.
matched
I'm still there's no question in my mind about about what I believe and why I believe it.
matched
But that experience allowed me to have empathy.
matched
for people who believe differently or who were different and recognize their humanity above all else.
matched
And my fear about these kinds of rulings is that we're restricting children from understanding basic empathy and humanity.
matched
We're going to create a world in which you're not allowing children to recognize the diversity and representation that exists.

I always think about John Lewis, the late great John Lewis, who talked about how much blood, sweat, and tears was put in to getting the right to vote.
matched
And so for me, staying home was not an option.
matched
That's why I definitely voted.
matched
I also think the Democratic Party in this space has a reckoning as well.
matched
Look, at the end of the day, people did stay home.
matched
Yeah.
