GUEST VIEW Republicans and the party’s shifting ideals
Richard Hallam writes a guest view criticizing the Republican Party for moving away from historic stands on liberty and civil rights. He argues that voter suppression, abortion limits, ACA repeal attempts, Medicaid expansion opposition, and education funding cuts contrast with traditional Republican values. He cites Reince Priebus and calls for genuine bipartisan effort and party autopsy. Hallam is a retired Goose Creek CISD educator living in Baytown.
