Read the Express-News letters to the editor for April 17.
The Brackenridge Park project calls for the removal of 48 trees. A reader says the city should be pursuing more green space, not depleting it.And crown thy good with ‘brotherhood’What has replaced the beautiful words of this hymn? We, The People, have almost eliminated our “brotherhood.” Mass gun violence, political rage, etc.Pat Allen, Spring BranchI’ve always enjoyed reading letters from Theresa S. Doyle. Her letter, “Back to where?” was classic.
DeSantis seems to be obsessed with the term “woke,” saying that “Florida is the place where woke goes to die.” I honestly had never heard that word used in that manner until of late. Doyle, a self-described WASP, says that unlike her “slave owning” ancestors, she considers herself “enlightened” and now views the word “woke” as a compliment.
She also mocks Trump for fomenting the MAGA crowd “to take our country back.” From whom? She wonders. Just like I value the wisdom of historians like Jon Meacham and Michael Beschloss, I love reading Doyle’s letters. Speaking truth to power is a beautiful thing. Our nation, now more than ever, turns its lonely eyes to Americans like them.
