LETTER: Joe Lombardo’s plans for Nevada public schools

To improve safety in schools, Gov.-elect Joe Lombardo plans to repeal restorative justice measures, which focus on alternative solutions to discipline rather than suspensions or expulsions. He also says he supports allowing teachers to carry firearms on campus if they have received training on how to use them. That’s a bit of a leap on administering the student code of conduct, I think. I taught middle school for more than 20 years in Detroit after 21 years in the Air Force and never thought the possession of a firearm was necessary to address behavioral problems. I don’t think any parent would think so either.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
