Gutsy column

 

I was nodding my head the entire time I read Daniel Shoer Roth’s Nov. 15 column, Prejudice in the heart of Florida. It took guts to write that and I applaud him. As the mother of a high-functioning child with Down Syndrome, I know the daily trials of raising a special-needs child. I cannot even begin to imagine the troubles that parents of the children Shoer Roth describes face.

I hope The Miami Herald continues to publish articles on the problems with the system and, I hope, some day things will change.

    The closing of Guantánamo prison is becoming more difficult every day for the president.

  • Good job, IRS

    Bravo to the IRS for doing their job. With Tea Partiers dedicated to overthrowing the government, forcefully if necessary, why should they receive tax-exempt status?

  • Patrol performance

    Most drivers seem unhappy with the traffic on our roads — speeding, reckless lane changing and inattentive drivers.
