                To the Editor:
                What a powerful article. As the country moves toward the right, it’s becoming more xenophobic and English-only politically motivated. The fear of becoming cornered (in their minds) creates groups of people who fear for their own future and that is when they lash out with racial and hate crimes against the “other.” This is the “other” that they created.

                Thanks for the great article and interesting analysis of trends in Europe and North America. Do you have information on trends worldwide? Also, what are the sources you used?

                Outrageous. Letting cursive slip away is just another device for reducing literacy.
