We must sift out the junk for the mind

May I say thank heaven for Lauren DeJesu (“Can’t TV be more creative, less vulgar?” Fence Post, Nov. 8). She has expressed my sentiments to perfection and more beautifully than I could have done.

It has come to the question: Have we been educated to become Americans with high ideals both socially and politically or American who care less and slop up all the junk?

Here’s to you, Lauren.
