Biased toward women
The leanings of the Herald-Leader editorial board are showing. Three of your five members are women.
Congratulations are due to the new Lexington fire chief. The fact that she is female should not be a reason for her appointment. I hope that I never have a reason to meet her professionally, but I pray that she is good, which I’m sure she is.
You people keep insisting that we have more female judges, legislators, etc., just because they are women. How about more judges, legislators, etc. who are there just because they are good?
