In response to Raymond Brunyanszki’s thoughtful and accurate opinion piece, “Freedom cannot exist without truth,” (July 13), I would add this: One of the reasons we have a divided country has to do with the integration of public schools in the South. To resist and foil efforts at integrating their public schools, some white southerners […]

David Vail’s opinion piece of July 16 names climate change for what it is: a crisis. It is not an exaggeration to say that if Trump wins in November, it is game over in the fight against climate change.
