Sound Off for October 17, 2017

Culture shock

I'm old enough to remember when a transistor was a radio, not a sibling who used to be a guy.

In perspective

I worship God, not the flag.

Go for it, dude

If girls could join the Boy Scouts now, then men should be allowed to participate in the Miss America pageant.

A sad irony

The teacher who used a racial slur is receiving the hate that she was trying to discuss with those students.

Future threat

Illegal immigrant supporters claim they're just taking unwanted jobs. What makes these idiots believe illegal aliens' children will pick peaches, too? No, they'll take jobs our children and grandchildren would have landed after graduation.

Morning sickness

Could the Ledger avoid filling the whole top fold of the front page with an oversized picture of our dangerous President? I would rather read a page or two before throwing up.

Works both ways

Ford Motor Company spoke in support of Anthem protestors, saying "We respect the right of individuals to express their views ..." And law enforcement agencies across America have the right to purchase their vehicles elsewhere.

In a word

The teacher situation is idiocracy at its best.
