The Aiken Standard announces its founding year 1867 and lists its leadership with RHONDA OVERBEY as Publisher JOHN BOYETTE as Executive Editor and HOLLY KEMP as News Editor.
Guest editorial lauds SC corrections for a three year post release recidivism rate under 22 percent, the lowest among 42 states using similar calculations. It credits education, job training, reentry support, and cross agency cooperation for cutting prison population and aiding ex inmates, while noting ongoing violence and skill gaps.
Gregory J. Topliff of Warrenville argues that postwar generations must oppose perceived leftist ideologies and protect democracy. He cites World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Cuban unrest to claim teachers and youth are targeted by “toxic” agendas and warns of internal threats to the United States.
Washington column argues the Cuban protests mark a turning point as economic collapse and social media exposure empower dissent. It urges Biden to visit Miami, declare solidarity, and rally democracies while preserving the embargo against Cuba and avoiding ties to Venezuela.
