Judge Wilson’s ‘kid gloves’ and more: Letters to the Editor — March 15, 2026

Chief Judge Rowan Wilson’s “kid gloves” approach to criminals makes it clear we’re definitely getting close to a situation where the lunatics are running the asylum (“Ire over kid gloves top judge,” March 12).

He admits that criminals may have hurt someone, but they emerge from incarceration “a very different person.” Yet recidivism rates stay very high upon reentry to society.

What an uplifting and heartfelt story about Chai Lifeline’s efforts to bring comfort to Libby and Shira and their families as these young girls wait for heart transplants in the hospital (“Hearts ’n’ crafts,” March 9).

Hopefully they will receive new hearts and be able to have a complete recovery.

Opposition to the Buffer Zone Amendment proposed by City Council Speaker Julie Menin is offensive (“Helping Jews Protect Themselves,” Tal Fortgang, PostOpinion, March 9).

Christians have a right to feel safe when they enter a church. Muslims have a right to feel safe when they enter a mosque. Jews have the right to feel safe when they enter a synagogue.

Every person entering any house of worship has the right to feel safe. This amendment is meant to allow barriers to be set up to prevent interference, intimidation or protests outside these sacred buildings.

Does everything in this country have to be made complicated when common sense dictates a necessity?

I think it’s a great idea to take a steel beam recovered from the wreckage of 9/11 on tour this summer (“‘Beam’ with pride,” March 11).

It can serve in some small way as a tribute to the innocent Americans who died on that fateful day. That being said, Tunnels to Towers CEO Frank Siller should make sure his tribute is not offensive to Muslims, whose needs and preferences are of paramount political importance.

Who will really suffer from Mayor Mamdani’s latest strategy in taxing the rich (“Brakes on city free parking,” March 9)?

Will the rich pay even a penny toward Mamdani’s meter-parking plan? No, it’s going to be the rest of us paying. For those living on a tight budget, it might mean giving up a car, which will also affect our family, friends and neighbors.

This city has let our parking lots become luxury housing. EZ-Pass bills only go up, and now we have congestion pricing — highway robbery. Since we are the ones with our pockets constantly emptied, we’d like to know where the money is going.

As if public school education isn’t bad enough, the city Department of Education wants to cut class hours equaling 20 fewer school days (“Dept. of Education ‘cuts’ class hours,” March 8).

Our youth is our future, and they are getting dimmer and dumber. Parents should be outraged but do nothing. Instead of giving a day off for every famous person’s birthday, how about staying in school and learning about what that person is famous for? Schools choice, trade schools and vocational schools should be the future of healthy education.
