OPINION: Dorothy Moon is fueling efforts to detoxify Idaho’s Republican Party

Dorothy Moon held onto her position as boss of the extremist branch of Idaho’s Republican Party at the GOP convention in Coeur d’Alene on June 15. Mary Souza challenged Moon for the chairmanship in hopes of bringing more moderation to the party but failed on a vote of 376-228. A tremendous effort had been made by reasonable Republicans to win a majority of precinct committee positions in this year’s closed GOP primary. The objective was to vote the extremists out and change the direction of the party. Despite creditable success in some areas of the state, the reformers did not get their majority. They will in the next election, if they keep at it.

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.

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.
