Our story starts back in July when my two kids were instrumental in inspiring the city of Half Moon Bay to place a Black Lives Matter mural onto the side of City Hall. They were featured on the front page of this newspaper, which my wife proudly placed in the front window of her Main Street shop.
And so it began.
Within two weeks, a Montara woman would come to the shop and verbally assault my wife, screaming about how she was âindoctrinating (our kids) into a Marxist-communist lifestyle.â
