Letter to the editor for July 4, 2023

Woke ideology is destroying our society and country. The woke side says ‘there needs to be more tolerance.” I do NOT see any tolerance on their side. If we don’t bow down to their ways and means we are called all kinds of names. This country is getting closer and closer to socialism and/or communism.

Perhaps more people need to read books by authors who have escaped communism/socialism. People who lived during the Holocaust. People who lost everything by dictators and had to walk and hide to escape socialism. How many of you have actually talked to people who escaped?

Why do people think it is okay to indoctrinate our children by changing adjectives. A minor-attracted person is a pedophile. If parents want to read inappropriate books to their children that is their right but NOT the right of a teacher. Biological males do NOT belong in girls sports, Drag queens do not belong performing for children. Furries do not belong in schools. I am sick and tired of people apologizing for what they say. More people have to start standing up against all of this perversion. Why are people so against women that they are destroying women? Do not expect an apology from me. Leave children alone. Let them have their innocence.
