Reader’s view: Schools embrace electronic media over real learning 
Looking at the front page of the May 28 News Tribune, which featured a photo of two children staring into what appeared to be blank glass slabs (“Schools invest in technology for all”), I half expected to see a flash of a “they live”-style subliminal message: “Obey.” Or, “Consume.”

Reader’s view: Accessibility improvements would help businesses, city
I think all local businesses should be given a warning ticket if their stores are not handicapped-accessible in both the entrance and throughout the store. Give them a few months to fix the problem, and if it is not fixed in that time they should be fined. The money from the tickets could be used to help the city’s budget problem.

Reader’s view: Stand united against marriage amendment
On Sunday, June 10, Duluthians United for All Families held a “coming out” party at First United Methodist Church (“Duluth rally promotes defeat of Minnesota marriage amendment,” June 11). As a Methodist, I appreciated that the congregation allowed the use of its facility. I attended along with hundreds of other supporters and was uplifted by the patience, understanding and tolerance that filled the copper-top. These are the values that have made Duluth and Minnesota great places to call home.

Reader's view: Police review board will give a voice to victims
People working for a publicly funded agency should be subject to external accountability, and the Duluth Police Department, like departments nationwide, should be at the top of that list.

Reader's view: Gomer coverage was great, but he became a major
Kudos to the News Tribune for its coverage of the well-deserved honors accorded to Joe Gomer for his service as an Army Air Corps fighter pilot in World War II. His service with the Tuskegee Airmen unit was remarkably extensive and indeed heroic.

Reader’s view: Drop the cop shows and return to westerns
In the 1960s and early 1970s, western television shows dominated the airwaves: “Gunsmoke,” “Wagon Train,” “Bonanza,” “Rifleman,” to name a few. Then, when ratings slipped because there were too many such programs, they disappeared.

Reader’s view: Obama and Clinton push anti-Catholic agenda
I have always thought that actions speak louder than words. In my opinion, President Obama has been in bed with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) crowd for some time.

Reader's views: Seriously, who decided this was a good idea?
As I drove down Superior Street the other day, I was absolutely disgusted at the tar patches on what was once a beautiful road!

Reader's view: It’s time to bring back drivers education class
It’s time for me to whine again — sorry. Apparently, drivers education is not taught in school anymore, and it’s showing. There was a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 1983 that claimed drivers education was useless. I disagree.

Reader's view: Did East Hillside arsonist move to West Duluth?
Am I mistaken, or is what’s happening now to the garages in West Duluth very similar to what happened a few short years ago in East Hillside?

Reader's view: Walker will defend the right to bear arms
There has been a lot of discussion concerning the senseless recall election of Wisconsin’s governor, Scott Walker. Most of it has concerned jobs, economics, unions and more.

Reader’s view: Many Lutherans have abandoned ELCA’s left turn
The April 30 article, “Northland Lutherans oppose Minnesota marriage amendment” was decidedly one-sided and deceptive. The headline and much of the article seemed to indicate that all, if not most, Lutherans are against the amendment.

Reader’s view: Church’s role is to guide congregants
The writer of the April 22 letter, “Catholic Church now pits people against people,” stated, “My purpose in going to church is to praise and worship the creator, period.”
