Saturday’s Letters:
A U.S. Soldier Fighting in Iraq Calls The Spanish
National Anthem A “Debacle”
A North Carolina Education Expert
Says “Insanity” Has Taken Over
From: Tom Shuford [e-mail
him]
Re: Joe Guzzardi’s Column:
McCain, WSJ: “Amnestied Aliens Will Learn English,
Civics!” Joe Guzzardi: “When Hell Freezes Over”
As a
retired teacher who taught learning disabled 3rd
to 5th graders for 28 years, I have nothing
but fond memories of the few Hispanic kids I had on Long
Island’s North Shore.
Still, I
identify with Guzzardi’s thoughts in his piece.
What we
have today is special interest driven
insanity. A remark by
Victor Davis Hanson made last year on C-Span's
BookTV.org encapsulates our situation: "Too many, too
quickly, from one place."
Shuford,
who lived in Los Angeles from 1998-2002, is a retired
teacher and columnist for
EducationNews.org. His
series on immigration and schools can be found
here.
It was number one on Google for nine months using the
search words “immigration” and “schools”
His recent
letter critical of the H-1B visa program was published
in USA Today. Read it
