East Bay Times Letters to the Editor for April 19, 2023
Katie Lauer illuminates in detail the militarized arsenals from drones to armored vehicles owned by law enforcement agencies, which some officers call “a life insurance policy.”
Community members have a chance to contest these unlimited uses. Agencies will post annual reports of military equipment use this spring and hold community engagement meetings. Residents should show up and ask hard questions.Housing scarcity target of new billThe article describes still another bill pushing ever more housing density. The truth is, there is no need for more homes. We are told California has a “housing crisis,” and an acute shortage.
Local control is being stolen through measures like SB9-SB10. Historically, local zoning allowed communities to control their futures. State, central planning, will destroy suburban communities.Democrats can’t help themselves when it comes to destroying public education and schools in California. Most recently, state Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, introduced, which would ban schools from suspending students who disrupt class or defy teachers. These are known as willful defiance suspensions.
So why have public schools at all? They have become such a disgrace and a waste of money. If we want to salvage public education we need to vote Republican and defund destructive teachers unions.Many of us are disgusted when a leader picks petty fights to punish companies with whom they disagree politically, whether that company is Disney or Walgreens, as opposed to governing competently.
