Ford: Sun City reader gets labeled because of face mask

Posted

I wish I could say I was surprised by the response to the article on the recent protest you wrote about.

First, as an ex employee of your publication I know first hand how hard you work to stay politically neutral. Frankly, at times it really used to frustrate me.

The anger and division in our communities is astounding. Just last week when I got out of my car at the Youngtown dog park I was accosted for being a Biden supporter because I had a face mask on. My wearing a mask has nothing to do with politics but with public safety. The people who protested have every right to do so and your letter writer has a right to disagree. He doesn’t, however, have a right to tell them what to protest or how to focus that protest.

I would suggest if all those issues are important to him his time would be better spent organizing a group of his own protesters.
