A good solution: all-gender restrooms<\/h4>\n

Re: “DPS under investigation for all-gender bathroom<\/a>,” Jan. 29 news story<\/p>\n

I was encouraged by the article explaining all-gender restrooms installed at East High School. It is time to change from male and female restrooms to all-gender restrooms at all public facilities for two reasons.<\/p>\n

First, transgender people are on the front lines in the latest culture wars. To deny them equal rights is another example of how many of us do not believe in DEI — diversity, equity and inclusion. It wasn\u2019t so long ago that handicapped people faced the same resistance for equal rights and now they are fully accepted.<\/p>\n

Second, we have had all-gender restrooms for as long as I can remember. Every summer my wife and I enjoyed outdoor concerts at many places. In many of them, rows of portable toilets were set up for people to use. Both men and women used them. I don\u2019t remember anyone complaining about having to use the same portable toilet as the other sex.<\/p>\n

So when I saw a photo of the all-gender restroom at East High, I immediately knew what I was looking at: high-tech portable toilets.<\/p>\n

Trump taking deportation plan on the road?<\/h4>\n

Re: “Trump suggests U.S. take over Gaza,” Feb. 5 news story<\/p>\n

So now the president wants to take over Gaza, extending his mass deportation dreams to that forsaken part of the world? This will end badly.<\/p>\n

As most of us pursue our daily lives, this same president and his unelected, unrestrained subordinates are shredding everything that America stands for, from the rule of law to amicable relations with our friends and allies.<\/p>\n

I call on our fellow Americans in Congress and the judicial branch to enforce limits on this tyrannical behavior. You are the guardrails who were elected or appointed to preserve the governance of our republic in such a crisis. If you fail in this, the rest of the world will take action with incalculable results. At the very least, the United States will be sorely diminished when that happens. At the worst, we could lose everything that we and our forebears have fought and worked to protect and defend.<\/p>\n

Your most fundamental responsibility is to restrain the ambition and sway of this president\u00a0by applying the powers of your offices and our institutions while they still exist. You must not fail.<\/p>\n

At the same time the United States has demonized immigrants and hopes to deport millions of them, we hypocritically expect countries in the Middle East to welcome millions of Palestinian immigrants with open arms.<\/p>\n

If we intend to uproot Palestinians, it seems to me the only moral way to do that is to relocate them to the U.S. Then, once we have transformed Gaza into a world-class resort, we can send them back.<\/p>\n

Wishing for vehicle license enforcement<\/h4>\n

My experience when I briefly had a temporary license plate was that when driving on a toll road (E-470) I got a free ride.<\/p>\n
