To The Reader’s Forum:

Although Tom Reed’s actions in the Nicolette Davis situation were certainly not right, his humble response was an example to us all.

Many other leaders have been accused of sexual harassment, but few have responded in as humble a manner as Tom did. By taking full responsibility for his actions and humbly apologizing to Ms. Davis, his own family, and the people he has served, Tom has set a commendable example of how any of us should respond when we have wronged anyone.

May we all learn the difficult and humble, but right lesson from Tom to take responsibility and humbly apologize when we have hurt another even if unintentionally.
