The Stonewall flag fix and more: Letters to the Editor — Feb. 15, 2026

The debate over the rainbow flag at Stonewall National Monument is being framed as a culture-war showdown, but it doesn’t have to be (“Rainbow flag nix by WH,” Feb. 11).

While federal property properly prioritizes the US flag, seriousness requires proportionality, not overcorrection. There is a reasonable middle ground: At commemorative sites, a single historically relevant flag could be flown below the American flag; not as a rival or show of activism, but as context.

This approach preserves hierarchy while acknowledging history.

I, like many other New York Post readers, do not like to hear about people being fired from their jobs (“WaPo CEO quits after staff bloodbath,” Feb. 8).

However, The Washington Post is a business and, as such, is subject to profit and loss. If the terminated employees thought that they had a job for life, that was their most recent mistake.

How dare E! fire Jill Zarin for speaking her mind regarding Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl; her opinion was that of many Americans (“E! ditches Bad ‘Housewife,’ ” Feb. 11).

She should not be punished for expressing a freedom we as Americans believe and fought for. The people at E! should be ashamed of themselves.

The tragic deaths of actor James Van Der Beek and Catherine O’Hara underscore an alarming public-health crisis that demands our immediate attention (“Lived dreamy life,” Feb. 12).

Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death in Americans under 50, yet awareness and research funding remain woefully inadequate.

We need a multi-pronged response: aggressive awareness campaigns targeting younger adults, increased federal research funding and insurance coverage that makes screening accessible and routine. These deaths should galvanize action, not simply generate headlines.

Jonathan Turley’s article on the American Revolution has tremendous scope and range (“America’s Revolutionaries,” Postscript, Feb. 8).

It begins with Greek mythology, then extends through the American and French Revolutions all the way to today’s battles — both verbal and physical — over the relevancy of our founding document: the US Constitution.

Finally, Turley’s focus on Thomas Paine’s key role in both revolutions is simply fascinating to me. Many historical figures remain just that, historical. But it seems that Paine’s relevancy extends uniquely even into current times. Many thanks for enlightening us.

The Winter Olympics seem to be getting more coverage for “cheating” than for competing (“Unforgiving ex,” Feb. 12).

There was the weirdest form of doping, “Penis-gate,” followed by the more traditional approach of cheating: infidelity by Norway’s Sturla Holm Laegreid. He used his bronze medal interview to beg his ex-girlfriend to return to him.

There have been a number of downhill fails here, although this is only a broken heart, not a bone.
