I was reading an article last week about members of the "Squad" demanding that anti-Jewish protesters be released and allowed to resume their terrorist-supporting activities -- and I have to say, this just shows that these members of Congress hate Jews.
To the editor: Your article on the DIY house built by homeless immigrants in Highland Park vividly brought to mind the various favelas I saw in Rio de Janeiro many years ago. Many of them were intricately constructed of several different materials, some with a great deal of skill and artistry. And I could not help wondering at the time how there was such a disparity in that city between the extremely wealthy and so many poor people living in these shacks. I keep wondering the same thing now. If...
To the editor: The removal of Asna Tabassum as the valedictory speaker at USC's upcoming commencement reminds me of another sad chapter in USC's history — the school's lackluster response to the sexual abuse accusations made against Dr. George Tyndall. In both cases, I am struck by my alma mater's failure to protect its greatest asset: its students. I can appreciate USC's predicament in choosing to avoid taking a position on the war in the Gaza Strip. Allowing Tabassum to speak might enrage...
To the editor: In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in Brown vs. Board of Education that it was unconstitutional for public schools to segregate students by race. ("Murrieta Valley board defies California, will keep policy to tell parents about LGBTQ+ transitioning," April 19) So how did many districts that had to desegregate their schools react? Instead of following the law, many officials put on a decades-long resistance to this well-thought-out decision. I thought of these actions when I...
In response to editorial on ceasefire I read today’s paper while visiting my in-laws in Lowell and your recent editorial called for a permanent Gaza ceasefire, did not include hostage release. First, Hamas repeatedly declared its intention to carry out multiple Oct 7ths and called for Oct 13th as a day to kill Jews a […]
The Data Editors introduce “Embark,” the Daily’s special print issue on admissions, and reflect on the transition to college and Stanford’s role in our lives.
The Abraham Accords -- signed by Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Israel and Bahrain in 2020 -- were gaining traction.
The Democratic Party leadership wants more funding to hire more Border Patrol agents so they can process and allow more immigrants into our country -- and then distribute those people throughout the United States.
MAD, MAD WORLD It’s not only dismaying, but baffling to see modern day fascism continuing to fill our streets with hate and evil. Professional, genocide-chanting social justice martyrs are gladly professing their support for terrorists who murder, rape and torture. It is beyond comprehension that people today can knowingly and deliberately choose to side with […]
Tulsi Gabbard is the smartest and bravest potential vice presidential candidate in America right now, in my opinion, because she speaks the truth.
Flipped Eclipse? I think the time-lapse picture of the eclipse on the cover of the April 10 issue is flipped. We watched from Montpelier, and the shadow wedge entered from the bottom and traveled up the sun. After totality, there was a sudden wedge of bright white light at the bottom that looked like the sun was shining a spotlight on us. It was not the golden sunlight; it was brilliant white and produced sharp-edged shadows. At the end, there was not the wedge we started with; rather, it looked...
There is a fundamental flaw in Everett Piper’s argument in “The heart of Donald Trump and the immutable truth” (web, April 13).
