PRIDE: Event doesn’t represent Coeur d’Alene

My name is Jason Murray. I’ve served as Families Pastor at Candlelight here in Coeur d’Alene for the last three years, under my pastor Paul Van Noy. I joined him in 2021 after 30-plus prior years as a pastor, spending more than two decades helping dads, moms and kids overcome the trauma of sexual confusion.

MY TURN: Take a stand against bigotry, racism

On behalf of the NAACP Kootenai County Branch, I am writing to address a deeply troubling incident that recently occurred at McEuen Park, where young students from the Coeur d’Alene Tribal School were racially harassed by a group of adults. First and foremost, we stand in solidarity with the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and the affected children, and condemn the actions of the individuals responsible for the incident. Simply put, intolerance and disrespect have no place here.

OPINION: Multiplication of division

America is divided. Ask most anyone and they would likely agree. However, you may not get consensus on the reason for the division, or where the fracture actually lays. It is as if we have a general feeling of division but among your known circle of friends and acquaintances, specific boundaries of disagreement become blurred.

MY TURN: Project 2025 — Presidential Transition Project

I see from Mr. Regan’s most recent article that he thinks the Coeur d’ Alene Press should be a mouthpiece for his perspective, rather than a voice for the broader views of the community. That doesn’t surprise me. The first thing authoritarians want to do is take over a free press. Democracy dies in darkness, and that’s the whole goal, isn’t it Mr. Regan? You’d hate to have Idahoans know what the IFF and the KCRCC are really up to. Speaking of that, every citizen should know about Project 2025 — The Presidential Transition Project.
