The author is on the mark with “Police killings of Black people are lynchings” (Letters, April 17). The Black killings going on in our country are outrageous, and the author is right to call it contemporary lynchings. I have learned there is an Emmett Till Antilynching Act that got passed in the House recently, and has been stalled in the Senate by Sen. Rand Paul. Let us all join together, to get this senator removed from Congress, and send a big message across our country, that these acts by police are not tolerated. We are democracy for all people and our future depends on us working together as one people. So be it.

Instead of giving so much time, energy and discussion to which schools need to be renamed, how about we give this focus toward how to teach civics inside those schools?
The discussion of who to honor or not in such things as naming schools could be part of that, but if the goal is to confront systemic racism, and build more inclusive and fair-minded places of learning, what happens inside the classroom is what will make the difference.
