It is certainly fitting that Americans join together on Veterans Day to honor and thank those who stepped forward to serve the country.

Voters should be wary of school district candidates who want to bring religion into the schools, who wish to divert public money to private and parochial schools and who push culture war issues.

Traditional Idahoans are slow to anger but, when they get their feathers ruffled, they are not reluctant to toss out political charlatans.
