Letter: Trump is at war with my students

Posted

To the editor:
I teach at UMass Dartmouth. I am in the business of preparing students for their future (some of whom may be your sons and daughters), an enterprise that only makes sense when they can have some sense of the future, some stable sense of it. President Trump's Tuesday announcement to roll back the Clean Power Plan throws that future out the window. I am appalled at the environmental wrecklessness of this president, as anyone with a shred of care for the future would be. I hope that the American people will stop him, and in so doing restore to the American people and the world a sense of hope for a somewhat stable future.
Thank you.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
