Opinion
Letter: Dismay and disappointment
I was both dismayed and disappointed to learn that our representatives voted for the so-called "bathroom bill," but I was particularly dismayed with the excerpts of Rep. Jonah Wheeler's speech. A bogus argument like the one in his speech (women, even one, need to "feel safe" in the bathroom) has been used many times to argue for discrimination against minorities. For example, in the name of "feeling safe," Blacks in this country were at one time unfairly excluded from bathrooms, lunch counters and buses. Likewise, Chinese and other minority families were redlined into certain districts in cities and towns, and Irish immigrants were deprived of schooling and job opportunities. Wheeler also ignores the need for a transgender man or woman to "feel safe.”
