Regarding Andrea Seastrand’s Sept. 17 Viewpoint:

Perhaps a bit of an overreaction, Ms. Seastrand, in your Sept. 17 Viewpoint (“Is decapitation of Father Serra statue just the beginning?”). It’s a long way from one decapitated statue to predicting mass statuary destruction, foretelling major monument renaming and misrepresenting Black Lives Matter as a fascistic group. Calm down! Clear heads are needed to guide our country during these tumultuous times. Breathe.
