The Issue: The Democrats\u2019 push to end the Senate filibuster and stop voting reform laws in red states.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Biden\u2019s party is poised to push through \u201creforms\u201d designed to turn a democracy into a permanent one-party state, while using inflammatory words at a time when we are already severely divided (\u201cThe scare-Crow tactics of Dems,\u201d Michael Goodwin, March 28).<\/p>\n

We\u2019re facing crippling lockdowns, open borders, loose voting laws, and now the Democrats want to end the filibuster.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re willing to shatter one democratic norm after another to serve themselves. They don\u2019t care about the taxpayers they\u2019re sworn to serve. All they care about is power. <\/p>\n

Gary Mottola<\/em><\/p>\n

Brooklyn<\/em><\/p>\n

Regarding Goodwin\u2019s column: I find it laughable that Democrats are calling Georgia\u2019s new voting laws \u201crestrictive\u201d and \u201cracist.\u201d<\/p>\n

I am a minority voter, my mother being African\/Puerto Rican. How is it racist to have me show ID proving who I am and that I am a resident of a particular state?<\/p>\n

I find it racist that Stacy Abrams and President Biden are inferring that I\u2019m too stupid to obtain proper state identification to vote legally and fairly. Aren\u2019t these laws already the norm in many states?<\/p>\n

Bryan Francisco Carty<\/em><\/p>\n

Nesconset<\/em><\/p>\n

It is especially ironic that Biden used the phrase \u201cJim Crow\u201d to describe the filibuster when in the past the Democrats praised it as necessary for the minority to have a voice in the passing of laws.<\/p>\n

Even in the past year, when the Republicans controlled the Senate, it was used by the opposition Democrats many times to stop the passing of legislation.<\/p>\n

Goodwin pointed out that Republican state legislators were asleep while Democrat governors and their cohorts changed election laws to benefit their candidate. I believe they slept on purpose in order to defeat former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Now they have awoken and are passing legislation to make the elections more transparent.<\/p>\n

Richard Ketay<\/em><\/p>\n

Newark, NJ<\/em><\/p>\n

The Democrats and the press praised House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 2018 when she delivered an eight-hour filibuster-style speech.<\/p>\n

In fact, they loved that she did it in high heels. Why wasn\u2019t the filibuster racist then? <\/p>\n

D. M. Diana<\/em><\/p>\n

Greeley, Pa.<\/em><\/p>\n

Biden and the Democrats are arguing that the congressional filibuster is a vestige of the Jim Crow era.<\/p>\n

Well, if so, then why did they use it more than 300 times in 2020 when they were the minority party in the Senate?<\/p>\n

Chris Trip<\/a>oulas<\/em><\/p>\n

Manhattan<\/em><\/p>\n

The Issue: Reports that only 15 percent of high school students have returned to in-person classes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fact that only a fraction of the students who were eligible to return to in-person high-school classes actually attended should come as no surprise, despite the delusional Mayor de Blasio hailing it as a great success (\u201cClass half full,\u201d March 28).<\/p>\n

What has been done to the education of the kids in this city during the pandemic is utterly disgraceful.<\/p>\n

United Federation of Teachers President Mulgrew has weaponized the pandemic, and the kids were simply collateral damage. It\u2019s shameful. <\/p>\n

Robert DiNardo<\/em><\/p>\n

Farmingdale<\/em><\/p>\n

Only 15 percent of students are returning to in-person classes Maybe parents of some of the other 85 percent are not avoiding exposure to COVID but rather wish to avoid exposing their children to something much worse: woke curriculum.<\/p>\n

How did we allow a Marxist political party to take over our schools? Parents who fail to speak up for fear of being called racists are cowards.<\/p>\n
