MY TURN: Response to Marvin George Miller

America is not slipping away … possibly your vision of your America is changing … which is a positive. I cannot argue with your values regarding our National Debt, the Border Crisis, or the Illicit Drug Trade and its cost to all Americans … or that Crime is a significant factor affecting our culture … nor that Inflation has spiked in the last four years … all of these “problems” and many more are solvable if the citizens and elected officials of this nation can compromise and find solutions for them.

What I am hearing in your letter, Mr. Miller, is your belief that you are losing your “Privilege.” The America you yearn for is in the past. It does not exist any longer. The statement that teachers are educating our children to hate each other is indefensible. Teachers teach good values, along with the relevant subjects that go with a great education … that is why so many foreign students come to this country to get an education. The education system is not perfect … good teachers, educated and qualified to teach, make our system work. And they require compensation for the job they do. Work on that, Mr. Miller.
