Dad Writes Anti-Sexism Timewarp Letter to Daughter's School
Practitioner:
Stephen Callaghan

Aug 12 2017

He wrote a letter notifying the school that there was a rift in the time space continuum somewhere in the school and that his kids had been sent back to 1968. He requested that the administration fix the timewarp immediately. This kind of humor is a hallmark of creative nonviolence.
