Fight ISIS with force, not words

ISIS and other terrorist groups look like "winners" to many of the world's frustrated or psychopathic discontents, hence their global attraction and voluntary recruitment. Accordingly, they must be militarily squashed and shown to be the losers they really are.

Why Black History Month?

Every February, college professors like myself are tasked to remind students and the general public of the significance of Black History Month. Undoubtedly, many people understand the potential value behind it, yet I sense a growing apathy among students. If I did not know better, I might be tempted to believe that Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. solved all the nation's problems. I might also believe that current events associated with race are mere coincidence or figments of my imagination.

Two years after Sandy Hook, schools aren't safer

Two years after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., it's tempting to think of the horrific incident as a remote, rare event, unlikely to ever hit home. That would be naive. There have been at least two gun-related incidents in my children's Baltimore County school district in the past two years alone. And while school systems nationwide, including in Baltimore County, have spent a fortune on security measures since Sandy Hook, often following the NRA's advice of

Seems like everyone passes through Laurel, at one time or another [Commentary]

From George Washington to George Wallace to the Astrodon johnstoni dinosaurs that roamed the wilds off Contee Road — no doubt killing time before the new Panera and Harris Teeter open in Laurel — it seems that Laurel has hosted virtually every species. I got to thinking about this when I heard the news of the recent death of James Brady, the press secretary to President Ronald Reagan. Both men were shot in 1981 by would-be assassin John Hinckley, and I later met Brady at Gayer's
