Letter: Voters shouldn't separate Donald Trump's character from his policies

Oct 4, 2024 | tulsaworld.com | John Schmidt

Regarding to the letter “Vote explanation” (Sept. 22), the writer may claim to be voting for President Donald Trump's policies and not Donald Trump the man, but we will get Donald Trump the man and very few, if any, of the policies described.

Letter: Moms for Liberty act like Moms Against Liberty

Apr 11, 2024 | tulsaworld.com | John Schmidt

Moms For Liberty should be named Moms Against Liberty. Its themes include claims that public schools and public educators are attempting to influence and sexualize children through a "radical Marxist agenda."That's just completely bonkers!While I agree parents need to be involved in their children's lives, including their schools, parents can't be left to decide what subjects are taught, how they are taught and what books are available.
Letter: Americans must know history or be doomed to repeat it

Feb 23, 2024 | tulsaworld.com | John Schmidt

I've been watching Smithsonian Channel coverage of World War II. I'm reminded that, in the 1930s and early 1940s, America was determined to stay out of the world's conflicts. The foremost U.S. isolationist pressure group was named the America First Committee. Sound familiar?

Letter: Poor traffic flow

Aug 6, 2023 | tulsaworld.com | John Schmidt

Our horribly crumbling streets have been joined by two other issues. What reasoning made the City of Tulsa to decide to reconstruct some streets previously widened to four lanes to accommodate increased traffic back to two lanes (such as Lewis Avenue and 11th Street)?

A side effect is vehicles needlessly burning gas.
