In drawing a comparison between Hogan and Trump, KAL went too far

-

I’m not thrilled by Gov. Larry Hogan’s campaign to derail the Kirwan Commission’s goal of reforming education. However, Kevin Kallaugher’s cartoon in Sunday’s paper was a tale of false equivalenc­y (“KAL’S VIEW, Nov. 3). KAL compared the rhetoric of the president with that of the governor.

Gov. Hogan has raised all sorts of issues about Kirwan’s purpose and fiscal sustainabi­lity. I think he’s misguided, but he hasn’t demeaned, abused or verbally assaulted anyone. President Trump exists in a special sphere of American politics.

Just because someone disagrees with the governor doesn’t mean the governor is just like Donald Trump, and to make such an implicatio­n only seeks to divide us further and make post-Trump reconcilia­tion more difficult.
