The Issue: The Department of Education hiring a disturbed ex-cop who allegedly killed a jogger.

Sayed Mohassib, the suspected killer of Katie Suarez — a beautiful young girl with her whole life ahead of her — clearly showed signs of instability (“DOE gave a blank ‘check’ on past,” Nov. 11).

A paraprofessional teacher, he showed a gun necklace to young children and posted shots of a frightening tattoo on Instagram. School administrators told staffers who reported this to stop looking at Instagram and “being racist.”

The only way to stop future preventable killings is to hold accountable those who ignored concrete warning signs.

The United Federation of Teachers will conduct an investigation, but who will investigate the investigators, and will they be held accountable?

Of course Mohassib’s colleagues were told to stop being racist; he’s a brown Muslim foreigner with non-Western roots. Had he been white, he’d have been fired at the first complaint — if he were lucky enough to get hired in the first place.

It took a killing accusation against paraprofessional Sayed Mohassib for the city Department of Education to finally realize he did not belong around children.

The DOE claims it vetted his background, but obviously didn’t. Anyone who tried to call attention to this creep was called racist. It’s just another failing grade for the DOE.

We live in a sick world where everything can be deemed racist, even when it clearly isn’t.

The family of Katie Suarez should sue the city, the Department of Education and the teachers union for wrongful death.

It won’t bring their daughter back, but it might force change in how they hire and shield their employees.

This monster who allegedly murdered Suarez could’ve executed children too. Whoever at the DOE OKed this hire should be fired. Some failures demand nothing less — this is one.

The Issue: The left’s reaction to President Trump naming Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff.

Stephen Miller represents a clear and present danger to our democracy, yet President Trump chose him of all people to be the new White House chief of staff (“ ‘Loyalty’ until the end,” Nov. 8).

So much for reaching out to the Democrats following the GOP’s worst defeat since Watergate. Same old Trump, same old bull.

Democrats ran on affordability, but the left has since abandoned the issue entirely. Moronic members of Congress are pushing political prosecutions, impeachments — and, in Rep. Hakeem Jeffries’ case, a veiled threat of violence against Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. If this is what Democrats want, then the American people were duped — and what’s going on in France can’t be far behind.

Robert DiNardo

Everyone knew Trump wouldn’t sit back after getting creamed in the midterms. While Democrats were still celebrating, he named the notoriously vindictive Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff. It’s as if Trump is saying, “Anything you can do, I can do better.”

Miller is known for playing hardball and will pull out all the stops to keep the Democrats in check. With two years left in his presidency, Trump is determined to get his last licks in.
