LETTER: Kit Carson Elementary meets cancel culture

So Kit Carson Elementary is on the hit list for the latest round of cancel culture schemes in Clark County (Friday Review-Journal). Once again, local politicos are on the move to remake Las Vegas history.

Trustee Linda Young, pushing this cancel-culture project, evidently knows what’s best for us, the unwashed.

Our schools are rated as very poor in national surveys. With such shameful stats, why are we spending more taxpayer money to promote pet projects?
