I know that like Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross, and Sam from LoTR are all considered green flags if they are considered role models.

But are there any unique role models you have or have seen others have that you consider a green flag?

    I’ve never thought in terms of “green flag” but really like that concept.

    I’m going to go with Levar Burton. Reading Rainbow ran for like 35 years and encouraged millions of children to read.

      It’s not really here or there, but when I was a young child, I saw Star Trek: The Next Generation before Reading Rainbow, so my parents had to explain how actors worked when I was baffled how the blind man was teaching me how to read.

      I did love Reading Rainbow, though, and still read regularly, probably in part thanks to Levar Burton.

      Oh that’s a great one!

      He’s still doing stuff trying to get more books and reading to children.

      So he’s a wonderful answer.

      Thinking of star trek would gene Rodenberry’s philosophy be considered a green flag

      I personally think it is
