Highland parents’ action takes courage
I just finished reading The Herald Bulletin Feb. 6 editorial on “Why the School District Should be Unified, Not Split Apart.” The THB said essentially that the kids and parents just need to accept things the way they are and that trying to change things was simply not realistic.
No. That anger you reprimanded the parents for is exactly how things get changed. Good luck to all who are trying to do something instead of just lying down and taking more of the same. Thank God the THB wasn’t around during the American Revolution. The editorial staff would, no doubt, have admonished the founding fathers for trying to break with England.
Get with it, THB! The Anderson Community Schools system is broken and the school board and teachers’ union has a stranglehold on it. Parents have been trying to fix it for years and haven’t made any headway. The THB itself has pointed out all the problems with ACS and yet the problems only get worse.
Secession seems very reasonable to me. Good luck, parents. You are attempting something that takes great courage and love for your children.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.

Letter: Blame the voters for our Congress
Why is insider trading legal for Congress and illegal for the rest of us? They make and enact laws for all of us, but then exempt members of Congress. Somehow this doesn’t seem to pass the smell test.
