As a Democrat and an anti-trump reader, I would not normally write a letter of appreciation to a paper that has views that are almost always opposite to mine, but after seeing several letters on the subject of the students who turned their backs on Liz Cheney as she gave the graduation speech at CC, and best of all, the editorial written by actual staff of your paper, I just have to say thank you!

Cheney showed courage, ethics, and pure decency when she was honest about things that were happening when the previous administration was in office. She lost something important to her, but she did it anyhow. How can this country get back its at least partly good name when the head of its country and his allies have done their best to encourage the kind of behavior that has gone on here? The disrespectful actions of the CC graduates come from the belief that anything goes, if you don’t like it, do whatever you feel like regardless of whether another human being is going to be highly insulted, whether your school is going to be embarrassed and badly thought of, or regardless of any other consequences.

I say thank you, Ms. Cheney.
