Next time, ‘Republic,’ choose a more responsible pro-life voice

School infrastructure can’t improve with the lack of funding he has created. Our classrooms are in crisis.

The monies from 30l were “redistributed” leaving schools and children cheated. Prop 123, the “Band-Aid,” didn’t even cover inflation.

A side effect of his assault on education is that businesses won’t locate to Arizona because our schools are so poorly funded.

Add the disastrous voucher expansion that he owns and we have a terrible situation.

Once he defunds public schools, our economy and our children will suffer. —

Hey, Editorial Board, how about a little more care in who you let speak on your pages?

Last Sunday’s editorial by the head of Susan B. Anthony’s list (an advocacy group founded on the lie that early suffragists were anti-choice) should preclude that organization from public opinion.

I don’t condemn the topic or the viewpoint: abortion rights and Planned Parenthood bring out strong emotions, and the writer is entitled to her opinion, just as a majority of Americans and I are entitled to believe that keeping abortion safe, legal and rare is constitutional, moral and right.

But she bases her argument on one key falsehood, that Planned Parenthood harvested fetal organs. This is a vile lie started by criminal elements in the Republican Party such as James O’Keefe, who was convicted in 2010 for breaking into the offices of a sitting senator.

The Republic should choose a more honest broker than Susan B. Anthony’s list to voice its minority viewpoint. I disagree with plenty of decent, fair-minded people on this issue, from state officials to faith leaders — please choose one of them in the future to keep this debate fair. —
