We could ask Mississippi what their "real solutions" are. Students there outperform CA students on every metric (for example 85% of 3rd graders in Mississippi read at grade level vs. 49% in CA.) While per pupil spending in CA is 55% higher. This isn't about not having enough money for sch…

Missed you TY! Thought you must have been gone when I didn't see you weighing in on a typical Craig W column.

100% Dirk. Craig's column was typical- patting himself on the back for his superior "kind and compassionate" (to some) political opinions with not so subtle digs against the "other side". He is disingenuous in alluding to bringing people together, he has no interest in doing this. If he d…

That was the strangest comment from Mark. Did he hallucinate a time before universal mail-in ballots where we were handed the ballot at the voting center, having no idea who or what would be on it? We always got a sample ballot and voter guide in the mail pre-election!

Curious that "JoeBob" isn't weighing on on this LTE.

Thanks for the laugh, "D". I'm a 3rd generation Californian, my grandfather helped build the Bay Bridge, can I opine? California has not had any conservative presence in the state government for 2 1/2 decades now. Crime, homelessness, our broken public education system, our high taxes for…

"How ridiculous is that?" you say? Very ridiculous, because it is simply not true, that books about Down Syndrome have been a significant target of "book banning" by anyone in this country. In fact, Craig's list of "banned books" contained many obscure examples of extremely local challeng…

Apparently Mike doesn't like your idea of organizing a more appropriate community event.

Have you talked to the organizers of the event who shared the "real purpose"? Because those I talked with (2 I know personally) have the purpose of sharing their stories and spreading information about how the rights of women and girls are being violated under CA law (see my prior comment…
