To The Editor: The Preamble of our Constitution begins with this: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union…insure domestic Tranquility…promote the general Welfare…” In light of present conditions, however, it looks like this was little more than a statement of good intentions, intentions that have gone badly awry as grieving parents in Uvalde and across the country will testify. We might wonder why it’s turned out this way but since large numbers of our fellow citizens adamantly reject the idea of national selfexamination—preferring to ban books and censor teaching—we’ll have a hard time figuring it out.
