On responsibility

Big surprise! The Acorn editorialist writes again against education. No on textbooks. No on teachers. No on decent class sizes. No on school bond measures. No on school parcel tax. No on school funding from the state.

You have made your position clear on schools, but I respectfully request fact checks before publishing. Even if the editorialist merely runs his/her facts by their own very solid education reporters, this would prevent erroneous statements, as were made in last week's editorial.

Editorials are powerful. I have witnessed your editorials putting seeds of doubt in voters' minds and impacting elections. Newspaper editorialists have a responsibility to their communities to be careful and accurate with research and facts. We implore you to do so. Barbara Schwartz Oak Park
