LETTER: Senate Democrats won’t condemn colleges that discriminate against Asian Americans

I am extremely disappointed that Senate Democrats unanimously voted against a proposal preventing a college or university that discriminates against Asian-Americans in the admissions process from receiving federal funds.

I am an Asian-American, seventh grade student. My family has always taught me to work hard in school, making me believe that I will be rewarded for the amount of effort I put in. Victor Joecks’ April 28 commentary on this ongoing problem against Asian-American students was eye-opening for me. If this continues, what will the opportunities for the Asian-American community look like in the future?

The admission process should be based on merit, not skin color.

LETTER: Jacky Rosen, drug prices and inflation

I don’t believe she has malicious intentions, but at the very least she’s been thoughtless when considering the ramifications of how the overwhelming majority of her votes affect the very people who elected her.

LETTER: Fair share?

Politicians use “the rich” to divert attention from their reckless spending.

LETTER: Donald Trump not fit to be president

His loyalty is to himself and himself alone. He has neither the energy nor the ability to make complex decisions.
