Reader’s Commentary: Adult world must overcome versions of fantasy

Reader’s Commentary: Disagreement with Charles Coddington opinions
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda It’s easy to falsify, pervert, then obscure the truth about events when columnists in The Voice don’t bother including academic rigor in what they write.

By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Charles Coddington engaged in a bit of his own Logorrhea in the April 6 issue of The Voice after accusing Republicans of what he is guilty of doing…which is in a word… “logorrhea.” He prattled on about things he disagreed with, giving us his opinions on
Reader’s Commentary: Points made: Protecting children, 1619 Project problems
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Conservative actions concerning transsexuals and transexuality have to do with protecting these children, especially younger children and children up to and beyond puberty, from being groomed in ways that would lead them to becoming even more confused about their gender dysphoria.
