Irony on the Editorial Pages
I found it ironic that Leonard Lopoo's April 30 op-ed 'How to Make American Babies Again' was next to Starlee Coleman's 'High Court Could Crush Charter Schools,' which described at least one part of our fertility crisis: that our public-school system is a failure, as parents have to pay thousands of dollars to give a child a reasonable and safe education. To further turn the knife, two days later in his op-ed 'You Won't Believe the Tax Breaks for Professors,' Prof. Steven Davidoff Solomon described the education assistance that elite faculty enjoy. If ever we've constructed a disincentive for childbearing, our education system is it. Rebecca Whitworth

The ‘First Amendment' Dodge at UC Berkeley
In 'Mr. Trump, Investigate My Campus' (op-ed, Feb. 3) Prof. Steven Davidoff Solomon calls for an investigation of incidents of antisemitism at the University of California, Berkeley. Chancellor Rich Lyons suggests that such an investigation isn't needed, citing the First Amendment ('No Need to Investigate My Campus, Mr. Trump,' Letters, Feb. 6). But the issues at UC Berkeley and elsewhere extend beyond the scope of First Amendment protections. Many incidents of vitriol, incitement to violence and antisemitism on American campuses in the aftermath of Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, massacre can be linked to American Muslims for Palestine and Students for Justice in Palestine, a campus group that receives funding and training from AMP.
