Letters: Protected from drag queens but what about bullets?

Interesting article in the March 3 paper about legislation passed in Tennessee and being considered in other states regarding drag performers. This legislation is supposed to protect our children.

How many of us “old folks” remember the “womanless weddings,” many of which were held in churches, during early to mid-20th century? Look it up.

Evidently it is important to protect our children from drag performers, library books, school curriculum, etc., but politicians can’t seem to be bothered to protect them from senseless shootings, drugs, abuse by adults, etc.

I survived to become a productive member of society, but I fear for the children trying to make it to adulthood today.
