Family signed up to pick weeds out of a local park. needed two weeks notice, an individual sign-up form, a medical release each and a parental release for the kid (despite the fact that we would be standing right next to her). First 5 minutes of "tearing ivy out of a greenbelt" was about safe spaces and inclusive language and pronouns. I was initially annoyed, then realized 'you know what? I want my kid to appreciate that her minor inconvenience is a small price to pay for the comfort of others.' And she won't even see it as a minor inconvenience. She'll simply recognize it as prevailing social ritual.
