Minnesota should become the first state to use its schools and education to reduce violence. It should strive to teach students to be less violent when they graduate. The goals should be to reduce the number of people using domestic-violence shelters and to reduce the number of people being incarcerated annually for committing acts of violence.
Such reductions in violence would help Minnesota's economy and reduce a lot of suffering by those who've lost loved ones to violence.

Readers' View and Local Views
Letters are limited to 300 words, must be the original work of the author and must be exclusive to the News Tribune. Letters are edited for style, space, accuracy and civility.
Letter writers are limited to one published submission every 30 days.
With rare exceptions, the News Tribune does not publish poetry; letters that are anonymous, libelous or attack other writers; consumer-complaint letters; thank-you letters; or letters generated by political or special-interest campaigns.
We will consider exclusive Local View columns of 600 words or fewer. Authors should possess unique insights, and their commentaries should demonstrate greater knowledge of their subject than letters.
