From Harford County government:
Choose Civility Harford County is growing with new online tools and fall activities to promote respect, empathy and tolerance countywide. Launched in June 2018, Choose Civility Harford County is part of a nationwide grassroots movement initiated locally by Harford County Public Library CEO Mary Hastler and Harford County Executive Barry Glassman. The local movement has expanded to include more than 40 alliance partners.
Choose Civility Harford County’s online presence now includes a redesigned website, making it easier for users to find upcoming activities and join the campaign as partnership organizations, sponsors and individual advocates. The website includes an online toolkit and a series of 6-second videos, or GIFs, each representing a principle of civility such as “speak kindly” or “acknowledge others.” Anyone can download the free GIFs and post them on social media as friendly reminders to choose civility.
With school back in session, Harford Community College is promoting civility on campus. Harford County Public Schools continues to share materials through the Positive Behavioral Intervention Supports (PBIS) program and will distribute materials during health class in all middle schools this year.
On the road, look for car magnets being placed on Harford County government and library vehicles; car magnets have also been made available to employees of both organizations.
For the public, free materials including car magnets, clings, and bookmarks are available at all branches of the Harford County Public Library.
Information about joining the campaign, access to the downloadable GIFs, and events planned this fall to promote kindness and inclusion are available on the website at https://www.hcplonline.org/choosecivility/.
For more ways to participate, including suggested daily activities released in each month’s Random Acts of Civility Calendar, follow Choose Civility Harford County on Facebook. Spread the word on social media using the hashtag #ChooseCivilityHarford.
a great place to start this ‘civility’ is right here, on the Dagger Comments…
boooo. we all come here for the comments.
This is such BS. The liberal left has no interest in “civility”. The minute you disagree with them and their agenda we suddenly need civility. Lets spend a bunch of tax money on nonsense.
Yes those damn liberals and their vilifying women, disabled people and anyone who’s not white really need a lesson in civility….. While my wife isn’t looking I’m off to grabem by the pu$$y
You are an idiot. Rot in pancake soil.
You do love me don’t you?
Bollocks. This smells like more limp-handed compromise, which I do not want. I want freedom, solid property rights, reasonable taxation, self-defense, and school choice.
The politicians that fight these things are fighting what I believe is best for my family. Please keep your “online toolkit” and prepared GIFs for social media.
Read the very first line; “Harford County Government”.
Now read the the second line in the first paragraph; “June 2018”.
Now ask yourself this; When did civil unrest begin. It began back in 1992 with Newt Gingrich. Since that time it has been building till the present day.
Just why then does a county government which is run entirely by the republican’s except for 0ne Democratic delegate start such a program now.
Answer, it is all political by a party that is running scared, that they will loose control of the purse strings and possibly another party could launch a state polce investigation into some of the actions done the last 20 years by this party.
Yes, as the old saying goes, I live on the other side of the tracks so I am not suppose to have a word in this county government. Although there are railroad tracks, the actual line is Route 7 and as it goes north I-95
What is my wish today. That the Dagger would allow editing of posts that is haste the enter button is hit and then the mistakes show loud and clear.

You could always take some time to proof read your replies if you’re concerned about proper grammar and spelling?
Spot On observation. I suspect the Republicans have many things to answer about. Of course this would require a proper investigation into Harford County. They should start with Joe Cassilly.
How about that civility those people displayed yesterday at the White Marsh Mall. Liberals call that a demonstration of protest and free speech. If I call it something else I am a racist. Just some misunderstood youths
