More about Perry
It appears that Gov. Rick Perry may have lost more than just his bid to become the Republican presidential nominee. He may have also lost the next election if he attempts to be re-elected governor of Texas.-- Norm Petersen, GranburyEvidently, the Star-Telegram couldn't wait to print Thursday's headline, "Perry losing Texas' support." Every day that he was a candidate, we could expect to see something negative about him on the front page. Too bad Fort Worth does not have another paper to give us a choice.-- Joan Good, WeatherfordRichland Hills councilSince our City Council has restricted free speech, I guess this is the best way to express my vote of "no confidence" in Richland Hills' elected leadership. These men who were elected to represent the interests of our residents and represent Richland Hills to the world are an embarrassment to themselves and the city. Not only are they not moving our city into the future, they are moving us back to a time of ignorance and intolerance resulting in litigation. Their actions, or lack of action, have committed our poor little community to untold thousands of dollars in legal fees and a possible settlement.I am calling for these men who have brought disgrace upon Richland Hills to muster up their last fibers of decency and tender their resignations. Get out of the way and let Richland Hills move on.-- Ralph E. Smith Jr., Richland HillsTCC inquiryThe story "TCC inquiry finds for students" on Tuesday was a disappointment, to say the least. The verdict itself is astonishing, but the writer did not give readers enough background for proper evaluation.Instructor Paul Derengowski's Great Religions of the World class was taught for at least three years. The syllabus, which has not changed, and resource materials were approved when the course was included in the curriculum.Despite reports from students who were present when the students used defamatory language -- one told the instructor he should be afraid -- the school chose to find against its employee.It sounds like intimidation by temper tantrum. Two-year-olds shouldn't get away with it, and neither should college students.-- Frances Schwartzwald, Grand PrairieLetters policy
