Kudos to The Sun for its support of regionalism ("Kamenetz's opportunity to help Baltimore — and the county," June 9).
But The Sun neglects to mention the need for regionalism in primary and secondary education. If The Sun truly wants a "fulfilling, healthy, safe and economically secure life" for all, the matter of the racial divide between the city and the counties in education must be addressed, not ducked.
Without affecting the quality of the superior educations to be had in the counties, a way must be found to breach the boundaries between the suburbs and the city. This is a very delicate issue, but it must not be ignored.
Simply put, more African-American children must be able to share the benefits of superior facilities, better teachers and a culture in which education is highly valued. Quality education in the counties is a resource that must be shared, and a sincere effort must be made to bring that about.
