    Teachers risk their lives

    Between the horrific shooting in Connecticut and the devastating tornado in Oklahoma, schools, tragically, have been at the epicenter of the carnage. In both cases, teachers put their lives on the line to protect their charges, innocent children, by placing themselves between the kids and harm’s way.

  • Congress vs. American people

    The lawmakers are acting shamefully and viciously against our president and Americans.

  • Our families first

    The Pentagon wants $450 million for improving and maintaining the Guantánamo Bay prison. President Obama has made a promise and wants to close the facility that houses cq166 prisoners; however, he has faced opposition from Republican and Democrats in Congress.

  • Repeal Obamacare

    It is time for Senate Democrats and the president to repeal Obamacare. This law is beyond comprehension, ill-conceived and passed on a strict party-line vote.

  • Don’t cut food stamps

    Congress appears to be on the verge of making a severe cut in the food-stamp program. Lawmakers seem to agree that taking food away from the most needy and vulnerable can help solve the budget crisis. And since these folks also have the weakest voice in Congress, it should be easy.

  • ’1984’ revived

    I may not always agree with Glenn Garvin, but his informed column on the government’s attempt to control Americans’ spoken and written thoughts is his denunciation of a trashy mentality (Unwelcome speech on campus, May 21, Other Views).

  • Children in peril

    When I heard the news about a mother who forgot her baby in the car, I couldn’t believe it. It keeps happening. Doesn’t anybody care?

  • Help this young man

    Re the May 22 story Heart patient, 21, waits for transplant approval: Money can’t buy health? Don’t tell that to the mother of 21-year-old Daniel Lasprilla. The way he was fired for being sick, forcing him to drive himself from Aventura to Jackson Memorial Hospital, sickens me. Through no fault of his own, this young man is near death waiting for the money gods to come forward and help pay for a heart transplant.
