Regarding “All Quiet on the Western Front” on Feb. 12: The high school students that are referred to are not mindless fanatics. Rather, they see and decry the murderous inhumanity of ICE as well as threats to the values of our nation. We who don’t have blinders on can see this as well and are depending on this younger generation to clean up the mess we older generations are leaving for them. The cited comparisons are specious. What this country is on the precipice of is not fanaticism, but the threat of becoming an autocratic state, with the first lines of defense being the repugnantly renamed Department of War and a militarized Department of Homeland Aggression.
Thanks for your letter, Mr. Wright, but if these students are supporting criminals and terrorists who threaten the values of our nation instead of supporting law and order, they won’t be taken seriously. Through their lawless cause they are creating a mess that adults will need to clean up. Again. Much as our (yes, our) great President Trump is doing. A job we elected him to do. And he’s doing great at Making America Great Again, Again.
Nice going Brian - "clean up the mess we older generations are leaving for them" the mess was caused by your lefty brethren and sisters who elected the least competent president ever. Many of us are actually working on improving our society but hampered by your 'we' category. That is not who most of us are. And HS students are not known for contributing much to our well being unless guided by a responsible older generation. Apparently, you don't belong to that generation category.

Agree 100% Mr. Wright. Thank you.
