SCOTUS' trans ruling: Letters to the Editor — June 23, 2025
The Issue: The Supreme Court upholding Tennessee's ban on gender transition surgery for minors. On the day of the Supreme Court's decision upholding the Tennessee ban on transitions for minors, the mainstream media (especially PBS) was quick to cry out what a 'setback' this ruling was for 'trans' rights ('Trans sense,' June 19). The agonies brought on by impulsive decisions made by addled youngsters were not discussed. Advertisement This ruling is a victory, not a 'setback,' for biological common sense. Twenty seven states now have similar bans as Tennessee. One might ask why the remaining 23 states are so far behind the curve toward sanity? Anthony Parks Advertisement Garden City The only disappointing thing about the SCOTUS gender decision is that it wasn't unanimous. It means that six Justices have common sense, and three don't. Nevertheless, a generation of young boys and girls have been saved from the 'gender-affirming' cultists. By the way, when did the far left change its mind on childhood genital mutilation? It seems like only yesterday the left was firmly against the practice for young girls in certain African countries. Advertisement Dennis Rhodes Naples, Fla. Since minors are considered to be too young to vote or serve in the military, then they are also too young to make these kinds of life-changing decisions. By the time they become adults, they may have changed their minds about all of these choices. Advertisement Ray Starman Albany Thanks to the Supreme Court for ruling against this idiotic ideology of 'gender affirmation.' It reaffirms what scripture tells us: Namely that the creator made two sexes, male and female, and no one should desecrate this. Frank Brady Yonkers The high court ruling to allow banning transgender care for minors is simply common sense. Sometimes kids go through phases. And life-changing decisions for minors could lead to regret and emotional and psychological struggles in later years. Advertisement My only hope is that other states will join the ban. Kids just need to be kids. They should not be allowed to make adult decisions. The legal age to drink is 21. The age to vote is 18 and to drive is 16. Waiting until the age of 18 for trans treatment is not asking too much. In fact, it's smart. Joann Lee Frank Clearwater, Fla. Advertisement The Issue: City Hall's plan to spend $929.1 million to house the homeless and migrants in hotels. Mayor Adams needs to go ('A Fetid $1B Hotel Deal,' Editorial, June 20). He cannot justify spending nearly $1 billion for this cause. How many of the 86,000 who need housing are actually homeless citizens, the ones he should have been taking care of from Day 1? That money could have been divided for other vital services that need to be addressed, such as cleaner streets, an overhaul of the Administration for Children's Services, more cops — because we really don't need more commuters to be stabbed during a Grand Central morning rush hour — or a number of other issues needing urgent attention and upgrades. Advertisement Susan Cienfuegos New Rochelle I really think that New York taxpayers and citizens have had enough of Eric Adams' nonsense. Along with the corruption allegations, he has continued to destroy New Yorkers' quality of life. Now he's planning to spend nearly $1 billion in taxpayer money on shelters for immigrants and homeless. Advertisement When is this gonna stop? Enough already, Adams.

Court records: Dayton man used social media to plan, discuss letter carrier robberies
May 2—A Dayton man is accused of using social media to plan robbing letter carriers and stealing mail to cash fraudulent checks. Anthony Parks was indicted on conspiracy to commit bank fraud and robbery of a letter carrier in federal court in April. A U.S. postal inspector linked Parks to two armed robberies of letter carriers in Dayton where suspects stole the letter carriers' arrow keys, according to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court Southern District of Ohio. Arrow keys give mail carriers access to U.S. Postal Service collection boxes. The first robbery was reported around 12:43 p.m. on Nov. 26, 2022, in the 2200 block of Ravenwood Avenue in Dayton. An armed male reportedly approached the letter carrier, displayed a gun and demanded the arrow key. The letter carrier handed over the key and the suspect fled in a vehicle waiting nearby. In March 2023, an Oakwood police officer stopped a Chevrolet Malibu for improper display of a license plate. Parks and a second man were in the vehicle and consented to a vehicle search. Officers found stolen mail in the car and arrested both men. While they were being booked, police inspected the other man's protective case on his cellphone and found a USPS arrow key between the case and the phone, according to court records. The serial number on the key matched the one stolen during the Ravenwood Avenue robbery. The second robbery was at 2:08 p.m. on Oct. 14, 2023, in the 4600 block of Merrick Drive in Dayton. Three males approached a letter carrier, and one pulled put a gun and put it against the letter carrier's chest, according to court records. The letter carrier gave the group the arrow key and the key to the USPS delivery truck. While canvassing the area a few days later, investigators received video surveillance footage of two of the suspects prior to the robbery. Investigators reviewed Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway information about Parks, who previously was caught with stolen mail, and noted Parks matched the description of one of the suspects in the Merrick Drive robbery. Investigators checked Bureau of Motor Vehicles records for Parks' driver's license photo taken earlier in 2023, and noticed he was wearing a sweatshirt that matched the sweatshirt worn by a suspect in the Merrick Drive robbery, according to the complaint. Investigators learned Parks operated two Instagram accounts and received a warrant to search the accounts. He allegedly used the accounts to conduct various criminal activities, including planning to rob letter carriers, steal mail and fraudulently alter checks. Some of the messages from July and September 2023 included Parks discussing needing more guns and another person sending a video of a letter carrier with a voiceover stating, "he got the key," according to court records. Following the Merrick Drive robbery Parks exchanged messages with another account about the keys stolen during the robbery. He also sent messages to the account discussing cashing an altered check and received a picture of the check, according to the complaint. Parks was arrested on April 11. During a hearing on April 16, Magistrate Judge Peter Silvain Jr. ordered Parks remain in custody pending trial. Parks has a status report on June 23 and is scheduled to go to trial on June 30.
