Dear Editor: “Dominican stands ever fair in towering majesty, Queen of the hosts of learning, long years may she ever be…” were the opening lines of our school song.

Reinterpreting History
Dear Editor: I was deeply saddened by The Tablet’s editorial (Aug. 16) joining the chorus of leftist fanatics and rubberstamping the desecration of a statue of General Robert E. Lee. Saddened because The Tablet has apparently hopped upon the bandwagon or, rather, the juggernaut of political correctness which now demands a Stalin-like, Mao-like revisionism of American history.
The Law Is the Law
Dear Editor: Here we go again! An individual, who I will keep unnamed, accused of breaking into a 65-year-old woman’s home, assaulting her and stealing her car was arrested after allegedly assaulting another woman and running from police. He was eventually caught after local officers chased him through a neighborhood.
Reactions to Charlottesville
Dear Editor: I am not surprised, but am nonetheless disappointed, to read of your editorial staff’s support for the removal of the statue of General Robert E. Lee (“The Insanity of Racism,” Aug. 19).
Troubled by Francis
As The Tablet Sees It (July 29) asked readers to tell what they think, about the article by Fathers Spadaro and Figueroa and Pope Francis’ feelings toward conservative Christians who voted for President Trump.
More Support for Life
Thank you for the recent editorial about the good works of The Bridge to Life, Inc.
Duty to Speak Out
I am responding to Michael Cholewska’s letter (July 15) to assure him that I have not forgotten, nor do I overlook, the fact that President Trump was duly and “legally” elected to the presidency.
‘Street Smart’ Sister
I feel compelled to write after returning from the Mass of the Resurrection for Sister Kathleen Sullivan, C.S.J. Sister Kathleen was a legendary educator and the “unofficial mayor” of Park Slope. She was the principal of St. Francis Xavier School for 42 years. Bishop James Massa, at the end of Mass, graciously acknowledged Sister’s long commitment to Catholic education in Brooklyn.
Thanks in Bath Beach
I wish to publicly thank all those who searched for my dear wife, Mary Joyce Bonsignore, whose story you covered.
Let’s Pray for President
Dear Editor: Congratulation to the Editor on his level-headed response to the Letter to the Editor titled “Not a Fan of the President.”
