Letters to the Editor

To the Editor,
To the Twin Valley student who was run out of the Wilmington area by racist bigots:
As a member of this community that you and your family were also a part of, I apologize to you for the horrible behavior inflicted on you and for this community’s complete failure to...
To the Editor,
The conduct of the Twin Valley Middle High School students alleged in an ACLU complaint of racial harassment is disturbing. The school administration’s alleged response to the initial complaint is even more disturbing. While the school board should wait for the Vermont Human...
To the Editor,
Have you been told that the Pfizer vaccine is FDA approved? It isn’t. The FDA, despite what the legacy media will say, has yet to approve any vaccine. They are conflating the Pfizer-BioNtech with the Comirrnaty, and Pfizer is just fine with the confusion. They want the...
To the Editor,
Vermonters benefited from easy and affordable access to college and career training at the Community College of Vermont amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Enrollment there has surged thanks to a wave of publicly- and philanthropically-funded free courses and scholarships for folks...
To the Editor,

To the Editor,
When I was in third grade or thereabouts, we all lined up in the school yard to be vaccinated against polio. There was no argument about that. Our parents were well aware of the ravages of polio, having seen the effects firsthand. They had all endured World War II...
To the Editor,
Just need to give a big, big shout out to our caring community in Wilmington. I received the most generous holiday gift - I am guessing because I am a senior - from The Deerfield Lions, with help from the Rotary Club of Deerfield Valley, and the Readsboro Lions.

To the Editor,
“Stupid is as stupid does.” I never quite got the meaning until recently. Basically, even though a person is not stupid, they might be judged to be stupid if they do something stupid.
We should consider wearing a mask indoors in public. Some just don’t understand the...
To the Editor,
Vermonters agree that when police violate someone’s civil rights, they should be held accountable for their actions and victims should get the justice they deserve. 
The legal doctrine of qualified immunity prevents those things from happening, effectively closing the...
