    So the UofA wants a 3% increase in tuition. Back in Reagan's time, it became popular to run everything on a "buisness" model including education. Well that model has meant making universities more attractive to the well off class with ever more ritzy buildings and dorms requiring arguably un…

      Republicans have given President Biden a proposal to begin negotiations. Sorta. At first said they would agree to discussions if the president agreed to “each and every one of their requests.” What were they? They’d let him know if he decided to do it. What? Agree to what?

        I would like to challenge people who believe early abortion is murder and should be illegal to do an introspective exercise. Think back to a time when you were somehow involved in an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy situation. Maybe it was you, or your lover, a close friend, or sister. Remem…

          Two bills moving through the Arizona legislature: SB1323, which would make it a felony for teachers to expose certain books to their students without parental consent; and SB1700, which would allow a single parent to ban a book if they find it lewd or sexual in nature reminds me of a saying …

          And you thought the disasters of trump were over, didn't you. Republicans always whine about regulations hurting businesses so they work to remove, spouting businesses will do the right thing. Well trump removed. regulations on trains and look at the messes in Ohio. Trump removed banking reg…

          I suggest our state senators take a history lesson about the people we fought during World War II. They would learn that the Nazis and Fascists began by banning books and next burned them. As young as I was then I remember seeing movie news reals (No TV then) of Nazi thugs burning the books …

          Once upon a time, conservatives warned against “Big Brother” government dictating what you read, said, and thought. Liberals trying to control us! Today it is clear those warnings were prescient, but it is conservatives playing the role of Big Government Boogeyman. Are liberals banning books…

          As a 20 year veteran of the newspaper business, I read some articles with skepticism. When fact checking information, it’s also critical to weigh the source of information. Dennis Fischer’s March 3, letter regarding Arizona’s water shortage caught my eye. He is correct saying there are “long…

          So Arizona’s Republican “Freedom Caucus” legislators don’t want ranked choice voting and have proposed bills to block it. Their claims against it are ludicrous. They claim it “disenfranchises voters.” In fact, it would allow more independent voters easy access to primaries where many electio…

          This opinion piece is spot on! Public schools have always been committed to the “general welfare” of all students by promoting opportunity and equality for everyone. Mr. Crist is correct when he points out that there is an ongoing effort to defund public schools under the guise of “school ch…

          I like Lloyd as a coach but the team played to the level of competition, won some games against good opponents but lost to some teams they shouldn't have. I also think having a rotation of 7 players didn't help. If you had starters injured or not playing well there weren't alternatives becau…

          Arizona legislators are considering passing the “Ashley Dunn Act,” which will make it a felony to sell a drug that results in the death of another person. This act comes after Arizona has seen a rise in deaths and overdoses related to drugs laced with powerful synthetic drugs like Fentanyl (1).

          Push-back legislation by Conservatives on 'wokism' (vis-a-vis capitalism, healthcare, education, systemic- and structural racist/sexist policies, etc.) is more than a culture war response. Try this: read (aloud even) Vince Leach's op-ed piece on SB 1611 and SB 1694, but replace "corporation"…

          What is conservative? Trump is a chronic liar who spent his life cheating working people. He's never been man enough to hold himself accountable for his own actions. He was the first American President to kneel before dictators and tell them he loves them. As President he added massively to …

          Dear Justine Wadsack: Talk, or rather listen, to some actual children and teenagers, will you? Many worry that nuclear war or climate catastrophe will end their lives before they get a chance to become adults. A growing number have watched friends and teachers die horribly at the hands of di…

          A number of years ago, I waited impatiently in line for gas due to the Iranian oil embargo. There was a great outcry for energy independence, although it has amounted to nothing. Today, Iran and Saudi Arabia are resuming diplomatic relations and Saudi Arabia is sponsoring LIV golf tournament…
