Trump taking hits from hypocritical media
Paul Krugman and Mona Charen, both contributors to your Balanced Views Opinion page, have adopted the siren call of liberalism by parroting the same garbage we’ve heard all along: Raise taxes on top incomes to reduce inequality and accuse Trump of having character problems. Clinton is appealing to voters who welcome her call to end inequality by shifting income from successful individuals to those who rely on government welfare. And Trump is taking some hypocritical hits from holier-than-thou media sources while ignoring the absolute lack of character shown by Clinton during her political tenure. We’re not voting for Trump because of his penchant for locker-room language, we’re voting for Trump to ensure we don’t have a continuation of a failed administration led by a man who speaks the language of failure and socialism.

Students will thrive when parents care enough
I know a mother who teaches in, and has a child in, a highly successful, relatively expensive private school. At night, the first order of business for that child is homework. At 9 p.m., the cellphone goes into the parents’ bedroom and stays there until morning when the child is properly fed, dressed and prepared to go to school.
This school is not successful because it is private or that it is expensive or the school itself — it is successful because the parents care. They care enough to pay whatever it costs; they care enough to engage themselves in their child’s education; they love their country enough to prepare their children to run it. The underperforming schools will only change when the parents care enough.
