premise: Reading the numerous and powerful responses from community organizers to political insults of their work , it occurs to me that such words slight Faith In Public Life 's work organizing diverse religious leaders across the country . We can deal with the derision -- it wo n't stand in the way of our work for the common good . But the ignorance on display presents a teachable moment . Why are they worried about derision of their work ?
hypothesis: They want it to be a teachable moment to others .
