An opinion piece condemns Elyria High School teacher John Wallace for a 10th grade assignment asking students to write a positive paper on Adolf Hitler. It argues the task promoted Nazi propaganda, forced endorsement of repugnant ideas, and risked regurgitating Nazi propaganda rather than fostering understanding.
The note discusses a taped message attributed to Osama bin Laden delivered to Al Jazeera. It ponders whether he is alive, implications for locating him, and whether the tape signals future attack attempts. Warnings are seen as potentially useful despite concerns it may embolden opponents.
Readers praise Mr Wallace for assigning Hitler context to teach open discussion and historical understanding. Contributors, including Kelly Flanagan and Thomas Higgason, defend the aim of examining motives behind Nazism and warn against suppressing controversial viewpoints. Steve Geiger urges careful headlines and calls for critical thinking to prevent repeat of past errors.
The Chronicle Telegram explains letters to the editor are edited for brevity accuracy and clarity. They must be 200 words or shorter with signature full address and telephone. Contact methods include mail fax and email with listed editor Scott Brown for submission and inquiries.
Martin Schram urges tougher national gun laws and enforcement, arguing cars are controlled with licenses and registrations while guns lack robust ballistics databases. He cites missing weapons, lax inspections, and lobbyist influence as enabling snipers and illegal sales, calling for a national ballistic fingerprint database and stricter background checks to curb gun violence.
