"Every Question Doesn't Deserve an Answer"
 "There’s something for many people about being asked a question that makes them feel as if they have to answer it. More liberal people can even feel as if all questions are somehow “honest” ones that give them a chance to profitably educate the questioner.
Put a microphone in front of even a seasoned politician and it’s as if their being asked any question by a reporter or anyone else holding that microphone is some sort of honor or special recognition.
Even the usually astute Texas senatorial candidate when asked about transgender athletes in women’s sports felt he had to answer the question like this: “As a former public school teacher, I care a lot about our student athletes, I care a lot about our students.

 The
Fairness Project On-Line Activist Tool Kit
The Fairness Project is in the process
of making available the handout materials from
Dr. Minor's popular workshop: "Being an Activist
Without Being a Victim." These materials are chosen
because they encourage activist leadership to proceed
from a progressive, healing model which contradicts
the models of leadership found in most popular
forms, models that are meant to keep the system
in place rather than to make changes that support
humanity, and result in burnout among leaders.
