Yes, that's the problem.

When one experiences prejudice one feels one has the right/duty to change prejudiced minds or retaliate.

If you live in an area that's filled to overflowing with fundamentalist kooks - you move.

Sure, it's inconvenient. But I can't imagine staying in an area where one feels one's family is oppressed and discriminated against.

That's part of America's magic freedom.

MA needs to realize - those fundamentalists attract more of the same. So if a region is polarized, it only becomes more so. Like seeks like. As the years pass, communities get even more polarized.

Remaining means one either learns to like it, ignore it, or assume a Don Quixote windmill battle stance. MA has clearly chosen the last one.

America is dotted with neighborhoods which can be identified by race, religion and income. We are free to seek the one that best suits our needs.

I, personally, think she needs to visit Utah, there's some good people who have some nice communities there who will make her feel right at home.

Plenty of windmills will catch her eye.
