The good professor
He’s a real lefty. And, of course, he bashed Trump.
The professor likes to tout his accomplishments.
There’s nothing wrong with accomplishments, and I admire his. But I think if would be more beneficial for him to encourage his students to pursue their own accomplishments rather than push his leftist agenda. Aren’t schools supposed to teach critical thinking?
My critical thinking is to get opinions from all sides and then make up my own mind. That’s why I flip around and watch Fox News, CNN, ABC, NBC and so forth.

Seniors slighted
It’s so very confusing why Gov. Kate Brown decided to not distribute the COVID vaccine to our senior community as a priority.
For many months, we have listened to the governor tell us not to visit our elderly family and friends, as they are vulnerable, so COVID can have dire outcomes for them. And in fact, the majority of deaths are among the elderly.
Yet the governor chooses to not help keep them safe from COVID at this time. Her response is seniors will understand that children need to get back to the classroom as soon as possible.
Toward the trails near Wild Horse Valley, two Palo Alto residents, who declined to provide their names, said they opposed opening the park to nonresidents on the grounds that the city s residents are the ones who pay the taxes for the park s maintenance and that it isn t fair for everyone else to use the space without paying.
Several other park visitors from Palo Alto didn t express opposition to the park going public as much as apprehension about sharing a beloved place with newcomers.
