More Moral Imperatives
RECEIVED Mon., Nov. 30, 2015
Dear Editor,
In addressing AISD trustees and the question of Confederate legacy, Elizabeth Branigan wrote "The last political moral imperative I remember was Prohibition" [Feedback, Nov. 27]. School names aside, the last political moral imperative I remember was full legal/civil rights for LGBT people. Before that was full legal/civil rights for women; before that, ending the war in Vietnam, the civil rights movement, confronting European fascism and Imperial Japan, and economic recovery in the Thirties. Oops, I knew I was forgetting one – eliminating disco music in the Eighties, a biggie.
