Nothing wrong with searches in Clark County schools

I see no problem with random searches in the Clark County schools. I do not feel there could be issues with racial profiling, as some parents and members of the public might think.

I come from a family of hunters. We were taught respect for weapons of all kinds. My sons took hunter safety programs conducted by the Nevada Department of Wildlife years ago. Growing up, my sons had toy guns, BB guns and water guns. These were not used destructively,

However, I feel the Clark County School District should begin weapons safety education in the elementary grades. I also feel more parents should take the time to educate their children about the damages a gun can cause. Parents should consider safely storing any weapons they have in their homes and teaching children they are not for “playing.”

These are our children and our future. Let’s educate them. Guns are not toys.

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.

LETTER: Biden ignores the Supreme Court on student loans

Biden is constantly harping on how Trump is a threat to democracy and will be a dictator, eliminating our freedoms. It is Biden, however, who has proven himself the dictator who is threatening democracy.

LETTER: More on 1968

As a cop who was at not only at the 1968 Democratic convention at the Conrad Hilton on Michigan Avenue, but also the Chicago arson fires on the west side, I feel there were many reasons why the city was a tinderbox.
