Taxpayers shouldn’t
pay SJSU settlements
Re. “SJSU to pay fired official $560,000,” Web page A1, Jan. 27:
Who ought to actually pay swim coach Sage Hopkins who tried for years to cease the sexual abuse of ladies athletes by athletic coach Scott Shaw? Actually not SJSU, as a result of these funds come from us, the taxpayers.
How about making former President Mary Papazian and former athletic Director Marie Tuite pay the deserved settlement? In spite of everything, they have been those who did not cease Shaw. They knew what was occurring but did nothing.
And why hasn’t Scott Shaw been made to pay for the settlement given to the feminine athletes he abused? Not like abuser Dr. Larry Nasser he hasn’t even been prosecuted by the District Legal professional.

Shouldn’t fact be counted
amongst voters’ rights?
Daniel Borenstein’s commentary “Methods native officers use to deceive voters” (Web page A6, Jan. 21) summarized the wrong, partial and dishonest methods voters are misled. These “bait-and-switch” techniques have been well-honed by means of many years of use.
It's curious that when voters’ rights are getting a lot consideration, little is alleged about offering voters with truthful details about what they're voting on. Lawmakers need you to have the ability to simply vote, however then use each trick within the guide to get you to vote in a specific manner. They clearly have a restricted view of voters’ rights.

A impartial Ukraine
would possibly defuse battle
Ukraine has a slim probability at avoiding battle with Russia. But when it declares neutrality and explicitly assert they intend to be a impartial nation like Switzerland and can align neither with NATO nor Russia, they'll declare the excessive floor.
Putin would haven't any motive to assault as a result of NATO wouldn't be on his border. NATO can not acquiesce to stopping them from becoming a member of. That may be appeasement of a dictator and we all know how that goes.
However a self-proclaimed unbiased state could be supported by the EU, United States or anybody else. Would we not help Switzerland in the event that they have been attacked by Russia?
Ukraine wants to consider this. I really feel unhealthy for them. Germany needs a safe supply of fossil fuels greater than they wish to do what is true,

Letter parrots Russia’s
Ukraine propaganda
Fred Gutmann confirmed us an instance of pro-Putin propaganda that now dominates Fox Information and components of the GOP (“Biden’s Chilly Warfare tackle Russia-Ukraine,” Letters to the Editor, Web page A6, Jan. 27). Neville Chamberlain could be pleased with such appeasement.
My buddies in Ukraine would inform Gutmann that they might slightly battle a bloody battle in opposition to superior Russian forces than have the West stab them within the again, as Gutmann suggests.
Vladimir Putin has no extra proper to increase affect inside former USSR territory than English royals to inform American folks find out how to stay their lives.
I'm grateful to Congress, each Republicans and Democrats, and the Biden administration for appropriating cash and delivering very important assist to Ukrainian individuals who have been within the state of battle for eight years now and characterize the bulwark in opposition to Putin’s expansionistic thuggery.

Fraud ingrained
in right this moment’s GOP
The Brennan Middle has discovered statistically zero fraud within the final election.
It's onerous to consider with all of the Republicans that have been elected within the final election that it was technically doable to single out Donald Trump.
The Republicans ask, advert nauseam, that the fraud be regarded into all of the whereas sustaining they have been legitimately elected.
Republican electors fraudulently submitted electoral school certificates for Trump (“Trump allies created faux Electoral School certificates,” Jan. 12). Florida over many elections has purged tens of hundreds of authentic voters. Gerrymandering has made it doable for the minority to win an elections
Trump was helped by Russia in 2016 and tried for Ukrainian assist in 2020. The Trump White Home corrupted the Census (“Memo cites ‘unprecedented’ interference from Trump,” Web page A7, Jan. 16).
The Republican Celebration is the get together of great and far-reaching fraud.

Comedian offers probability
to heal with laughter
I've to disagree with Kenneth Brown’s letter on the comedian Mallard Fillmore (“Comedian crosses line into COVID-19 misinformation,” Web page A6, Jan. 27) on a number of counts.
First, I feel it's a newspaper’s job to indicate various factors of view within the correct context. I learn it, regardless that it often makes me cringe.
Second, because the comedian particularly mentions material masks, maybe it's spreading the knowledge that material masks are inferior. The CDC has printed articles on this topic.
Third, I wish to see the divisions in our nation heal. If we are able to be taught to chortle collectively, therapeutic won't be far behind.
