LETTER: Atrocities and Indigenous Peoples

According to Mary Armellino’s Friday letter on a recent Michael Ramirez cartoon, Indigenous Peoples and Native Americans do not include Aztecs or Incas. Really? I did not know that pre-Colombian people drew the same boundaries between North, Central and South America.

Or is Ms. Armellino suggesting that the atrocities and indignities of “Indigenous Peoples,” before any European incursions, did not occur in what is now the United States? Atrocities among Native American tribes and nations happened throughout the Americas long before Columbus. Talk about ignorance.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
