Reader’s Letters

To the editor

JD Vance’s angry, hurtful comments that teachers who don’t have children “disorient and really disturb” him are consistent with his long history of attacking families and public schools.

Teachers, teacher aides, paraprofessionals, school nurses, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors, librarians, social workers, counselors, and dozens of other essential school employees work every day to help kids learn and grow. So often they pay for supplies for children out of their own pockets to make sure they have what they need. 

Vance doesn’t seem to understand that being an effective educator and not having biological kids are completely unrelated. I support our educators because they support our kids, and it’s upsetting that Donald Trump and JD Vance have such anger and disdain for people who do not share their views.

Enough is enough. We have more in common than what divides us, and that’s why I am excited for the hopeful vision Kamala Harris and Tim Walz have for our families and the future of our great nation

Sincerely,

Amanda Walsh
