Too little respect for diversity

My husband, an attorney and real estate developer, and I, an educator, author, and professional speaker, both enjoyed reading "The Caser For Our Union: Our Clinton Endorsement." We appreciated all the points you made, which were substantial and factual. Thank you.

However, we both noticed and were disturbed by the second sentence in the third paragraph in the second column: "Please, we're your neighbors. We travel the same streets, send our kids to the same schools, worship at the same churches, feel the same community pride, worry about the same things ..."

We discussed that we were troubled by "worship at the same churches." One of the ugliest and most disturbing facts that has emerged from this divisive presidential campaign cycle is the fact that people still have not learned to acknowledge, nor do they respect other individual's diversity and religious choices.

Please note that we do not all worship in the same churches. Many of your readers worship in synagogues, mosques, and temples. Please also note that many of your readers do not send their children to community public schools. They chose to send their children to schools that complement and support their religious beliefs.

We hope you will take our comments about cultural and religious diversity into consideration.
