I read last week in the Review-Journal that the Clark County Education Association has endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders for the 2020 Nevada Democratic presidential caucus. Sen. Sanders is an admitted communist who preaches the benefits of state-run socialism, a form of government responsible for the murder of tens of millions of people in the past century and the enslavement of tens of millions more. This begs the question: Just what is it these people are teaching our children in their classrooms?

I think it is past time for a complete review of the Nevada school system, including the curriculum being offered to our children. We must raise the qualifications for our teachers and pay close attention to destructive personal beliefs lest they pass these views on to our impressionable youth.

LETTER: No conspiracy involving Hunter’s laptop

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.
