In an attempt to educate those in the area who write LTE’s proclaiming “No Kings!” and to those who participate in “No Kings/No War!” rallies aimed at President Trump, let me remind you that we, in the West, are defending democracy and Western Culture against an evil, theocracy-oriented, 7th-century regime.  This evil regime was days ...

Charlie would never have favored a bill that uses force to promote ideological change. He recognized different viewpoints, and used persuasion, or withdrew without forcing his will upon others, as House Bill 1792 proposes to do.  The bill identifies controversial ideologies that are currently being promoted in public schools.
