Letter: McDonald column more attitude than awareness
Give us a view from the right from someone who has something to tell us. That person is clearly not Julie McDonald. I’m glad you publish a variety of views on important subjects, but don’t waste my time with empty expressions of attitude. McDonald merely rants against Common Core (“The Right View: Back to a […]
