The things we believe

In Trumpian style, Dean Haagenson attempted to discredit the “Black Lives Matter” movement with fear=based accusations, backed up by no facts (“Wake up, America,” Aug. 11).

If you spread a lie long enough, people will begin to believe it. Don’t fall for this propaganda. The real problem is systemic racism. Hopefully Mr. Haagenson will apply his past Idaho lawmaking history to solving these very real, factual, long-standing racist problems.
