To the Editor:

Just as I thought I had seen everything after 71 years, I guess I was wrong. When I see statues torn down all over the country that reflected our American history, all is lost in our society.

Recently, a Black female athlete turned her back on our flag during the playing of the national anthem but still chooses to represent the U.S. in the Olympic games. Isn’t it time to put an end to all this nonsense and follow our values and traditions?
