Let's get something straight


Letters to the Editor

Elda Davis
In answer to Dick J. Brooks, I think he has forgotten the facts just a little. Which CEO came into office, took a surplus, turned it into a deficit and rewarded all his cronies who contributed to his campaign with numerous tax breaks and war contracts, which put our country into a recession akin to the 1930s?

Respect the office


Letters to the Editor

Glen Garcia
In response to Dick J. Brooks’ letter (“He deserves no respect,” April 18, Oklahoma Gazette): I would start by pointing out the flawed logic in Brooks’ “hypothetical situation” where he states that “whatever happened in the past to cause the debt situation is gone.”

Keep the film rebate


Letters to the Editor

J. Alan Davidson
The Outsiders, Twister, Rumble Fish, The Grapes of Wrath ... You’ve probably heard of these films, and know that they were shot, at least in part, in Oklahoma.

Blinded to science


Letters to the Editor

David Grow
Oklahoma has received a second consecutive “F” for its science teaching standards from the Fordham Foundation, resulting in much commentary about the need to improve those standards. All the states bordering Oklahoma received a higher grade.

In Karl Springer’s commentary (”No school takeover,” Oklahoma Gazette, March 21), the superintendent’s train analogy is accurate.

‘An unforgivable breach’


Letters to the Editor


Being raised mostly in Oklahoma in the ’50s and ’60s, my parents and teachers taught me that even when I disagree with someone’s ideas, it does not give me the right to be disrespectful to them and, above all else, never disrespect the office of an elected leader.

After reading “Testing, Testing” (News, Phil Bacharach, March 14, Oklahoma Gazette) I feel the need to respond to this double standard.

Showing women ‘who’s boss’


Letters to the Editor


The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (men!) and Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich (more men!) strongly oppose President Obama’s requirement that women have free health insurance coverage for contraceptives.

The country’s in trouble


Letters to the Editor

J.A. Gowman
In reference to Howard Hendrick’s editorial (“The tipping point for families,” March 7, Oklahoma Gazette), Howard is exactly right — he defines the problem elegantly, but does not cover the cause or the cure. Young people (anywhere in the world) will have sex, regardless of their economic status. When economic times are tough, what he describes is what will happen.
