Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Leslie F Churchill
Madam: Wendy Berliner reminds us all of the Government's stance on class size, quoting Gillian Shephard, Eric Forth and Kenneth Clarke - ie, there is no proven connection between class size and the quality of education.
I suggest that all parents with children in state schools write and ask their MPs which schools they chose for their own children and, if it was independent, what the average class size was.
My own MP was remarkably evasive on this question.
Yours faithfully
LESLIE F CHURCHILL
