Truth at a Premium

Dear Editor,
    I firmly believe that a letter to the editor is a pretty good gauge to measure what a community has on their mind. Your instructions to send one clearly states, "letters to the editor must be signed," so when I picked up the latest issue and discovered to my dismay that the lead letter was missing an actual name! Instead it read "A disappointed teacher." Truth is at a premium in these times and you have done a disservice to your readers and to your reputation. COVID was the worst of times for everyone; sure kids suffered because they couldn't attend school and those who were experiencing poverty and lack of resources suffered the most. But let's be clear, nobody knew what to do or how to do it. We were trying to keep everyone safe, especially children. Texas public education suffered but not out of malice. So I will sign my name to this letter...
