Yes, career and technical education is important

tart young

I agree with your Saturday editorial calling for expanding career and technical education, but not at the expense of funding for quality pre-K. A new study was released last month in which Duke University researchers found that pre-K education makes a difference in reading, writing and arithmetic. They also found those benefits last much longer than previously thought — through eighth grade and possibly even beyond.

I am still hopeful that someday the Review-Journal editors will have an open mind concerning the importance of quality pre-K and keep current on the most recent research.

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.
