Letters to the Editor for July 3
Education improvementMany school districts, particularly in large cities, are absolutely failing their students, as illustrated by the abysmal test scores. Why does Dr. Jill Biden, the renowned educator, not use the bully pulpit, or better yet, use her husband and the power of the federal government, to do whatever it takes to force these failing school districts to improve.
In Tim Steller’s column, Lane Santa Cruz made an error in her description of why there is not enough housing in Tucson. Santa Cruz is helping the bigwigs in the community make money at the expense of taxpayers. If she doesn’t know better, or as the $500 donation for Keri Silvyn shows, she does know better, and she doesn’t deserve the vote of the community.So now here we areWorld average temperatures are rising; average rainfall is declining; glaciers are melting; ocean levels are rising and warming; increasing wildfires; heat domes; etc.
In these times, when fewer and fewer people identify as “believers,” it’s probably wrong to suggest that legislators who violated the state constitution by installing books of religious instruction in a public property building should be arrested or otherwise punished. The act of setting off these incendiary devices does not make someone a patriot, and quite frankly, with all its well-known negative effects, this activity is the complete opposite of patriotism.
