I want to thank our leftist Democrats. Complete, viral homeschooling is a godsend.
We can now reverse the political correctness sweeping our high schools and universities.
I will be teaching my grandchildren the greatness of Christopher Columbus, why the Civil War was also a states’ rights battle, and how communism has existed in America for 100 years. I will tell them about the media’s role in the destruction of America and the falsehoods of a socialist society.
I think we can reverse the past brainwashing in time for schools to reopen, just after the election.

Pandemic justifies more for mental health, addiction
Demand for mental health care and substance use disorder treatment has skyrocketed because uncertainty, isolation, unemployment and loss stemming from the pandemic exacerbated existing illnesses and led to new cases.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that one in four young adults considered suicide in the past month and more than 40% of those surveyed experienced mental health conditions during the crisis.
In addition, according to a study cited in the Healio online psychiatry magazine, 27% of parents experienced mental health declines and 14% reported children’s worsened behavioral health since March. Meanwhile, parents who work outside their homes are debating sending their children to school and facing the possibility of not being able to work or incurring childcare costs. Parents who work at home are also anxious due to health, work and school issues.
These are some reasons why New Jersey’s budget must maintain funding for behavioral health services for all children and adults with disabilities, increase funding to cover additional safety-related costs that providers have incurred, and expand capacity to meet the growing need. Otherwise, tens of thousands of New Jerseyans will go untreated or seek treatment in emergency rooms, a costly alternative.
Adequate funding for mental health and treatment services and substance use disorder is critical not only for healthy residents, but also New Jersey’s fiscal health.

If N.J. borrows, it must downsize benefits
Now is the time for all New Jersey taxpayers and workers to pull together.
If we agree to authorize increased spending due to the pandemic, and to push the cost of this extra spending (borrowing) onto taxpayers in the future, our teachers and other public-sector workers should agree to modify to a meaningful extent their pension and health care programs. There should be a quid pro quo on this issue.
Remove from office those legislators who vote to spend up to $9.9 billion from an upcoming bond issue without obtaining financial relief from these two powerful public employee interest groups that lead Gov. Phil Murphy around by the nose.
The governor has shown no integrity on this issue as of this date, so it is up to the Legislature. After the state Supreme Court’s recent decision upholding the emergency borrowing without voter approval, we no longer have the state constitution to protect taxpayers — only the Legislature.

In-person only way to make your vote count
In a recent Star-Ledger article, New Jersey officials indicated that vote-by-mail fraud is not rampant. (”Trump’s vote-by-mail fraud tale not true, critics say.”) The article cited the May 12 municipal election in Paterson whose irregularities have been noted by President Donald Trump.
The article noted that 24% of the votes in the Paterson election were thrown out for irregularities.
Are you kidding me? Does anyone not think that this is an immense concern?
When so many of the votes received are discarded, this is clearly a problem. Who were the people making the decision to discard the votes? Were the people whose votes were discarded even notified?
Were those people given a chance to clarify their signature or other problem, and get their vote to count?
This article is a clear reason why in-person voting is the best and only way to ensure that each vote counts.
Steven Pauls, Old Bridge
