Letters to the Editor for April 15.
Chicken LittleRemember the children’s book, Chicken Little? Well, now I believe the sky is falling. The right-wingers have done their homework and I admire that. Who else would find the only federal court in Texas that has but one judge, a super conservative at that, to rule on the abortion pill? The political right is brilliant; if they cannot get the legislation they want, they will go through the courts to get it. I shudder to think of what they will do next.
Tennessee needs to wake up and come to the party! Their legislature is a prime example of the old adage “absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Apparently, Tennessee politics has swung far to the conservative side. Academic freedom, a foundation of higher education, is under assault, putting a chill on university teachers who fear being fired for what they say, abandoning their college email and using personal emails instead as one example. That’s just the start. Academic boards are being replaced by ultraconservatives, because freedom is evidently only for the far-right. Instead of freshmen being exposed to varying points of view and being taught critical thinking, they are now going to be indoctrinated.
It is imperative that leaders within the Democratic Party, my party, support the rule of law lest we lose our constitutional democracy. We must do better.The letter writer argues that we all get equal treatment under our legal system. We all saw Trump waltz in and out of his arrest.
