Editorial: Nursing shortage and pay needs more attention
It’s hard to prioritize whose work is more important than someone else’s at any time. Sidney Crosby might be the bright star of the Pittsburgh Penguins, but you can’t play hockey without the guy who drives the Zamboni over the ice, either. The coronavirus pandemic can make those inevitable comparisons...
Sounding off: Trump has been stoking fires for years
Make no mistake — the insurgency in Washington was not an unexpected, spontaneous incident. President Trump and his Republican supporters have been stoking this for years. Trump has consistently been coddling the vilest elements of society — neo-Nazis, proud punks (or whatever) and similar hate mobs — egging them on...
Letter to the editor: Teaching children to hate
Our teachers are to blame: No, not those who daily teach our children the truths of science, mathematics, history, etc. No, I am thinking of those who parent the innocent children. Those parents who teach them about their own hates and prejudices. As a product of that environment they assume...

Editorial: Arconic appeal shows need for reform
School districts spend a lot of time trying to make the money match the mission. Administrators and school boards haggle endlessly, moving the pieces in a puzzle that will provide children with the best education possible within the framework of the available finances. An amazing arts program would be fantastic,...
Letter to the editor: Socialism vs. fascism
Why is being a socialist and socialism, as described in numerous letters to the editor and by Republican politicians, taken to be bad but being a fascist and fascism get a pass? It probably has to do with the right-wing double standard propaganda machine. One ignorant letter-writer even called socialists...

Everyone who watched Alabama’s Heisman winner DeVonta Smith torch Ohio State for 215 yards and three touchdowns in the first half of the national championship game came away with the same conclusion: Smith is really good.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military has met its goal of reducing the number of troops in Afghanistan to about 2,500 by Friday, a drawdown that may have violated a last-minute congressional prohibition.

Letter to the editor: Steelers should be sold
