LETTERS: CRT not in MLK’s message; prison staff deserves a raise
CRT not in MLK’s message Recently we celebrated the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, who said in part that he longed for the day when his children would “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” Isn’t it ironic that as we celebrate his inspiring words,…

LETTERS: Use tragedy as a starting point; both perspectives of the story

LETTERS: Don’t blame climate change; a victim of remote learning
Don’t blame climate change As the Marshall fire tore through Boulder County last week, politically active millennials spared no time to point fingers on social media.

LETTERS: Hold prosecutors’ feet to the fire; comment from Senator Bennet
Hold prosecutors’ feet to the fire When you eliminate the consequences for crime, there will be more crime. Who knew? Certainly not the “woke left.” Leftist policies such as eliminating bail, so that criminals are back on the street just hours after their arrest, is not justice reform — it is justice malpractice.

Palm scanners at Red Rocks On September 14th, AEG and AXS announced the deployment of Amazon One, a disturbingly dystopian biometric palm-scanner, at Red Rocks Amphitheater, attaching concert tickets to your palm prints.
