Ethnic Identities

Hooray for Dennis Prager’s clear vision and common sense (Commentary, Feb. 22). His commentary calling for the end of ethnic and racial celebrations in our state’s schools says it so very, very well. Hyphenated Americanism will eventually bring this country down if it is not checked, and we’ll find ourselves living in a hodgepodge of ethnic and racial neighborhoods, balkanized like parts of Eastern Europe.

Racial pride and political correctness have run amok in this country during the past few years. There is only one race that matters: the human race. We are all identical under our skins, and it is time for us all to remember that.
