The US doesn’t have a military draft, but young men are still mandated by law to register — it’s time to end that practice, writes @Jeff_Jacoby.https://trib.al/cXMBPT4 

Symbolically, national holidays are important — but symbolism alone can’t deliver the legislative changes that transform lives, writes @reneeygraham. #Juneteenthhttps://trib.al/S7nYzyA 

From calls to prosecute, to third-party urgings, to an appeal for the Fairness Doctrine, readers offered an array of reactions to @GlobeOpinion’s editorial series "Future-proofing the presidency." #BGLettershttps://trib.al/eF9jQbt 

Editorial: It’s no secret that university admissions programs are far from perfect, but Harvard’s use of race as a factor in admissions is in line with Supreme Court precedent — there’s no need for the court to hear the case.https://trib.al/x7N2G9C 

The @ArnoldArboretum is working to provide a safe harbor for plants that are endangered in the wild — but getting the public to care about those endangered plants is hard, writes @reneeloth.https://trib.al/SHSIJdc 

“What I experienced in the Seaport Saturday night was not only a nuisance. It was a major public safety concern,” writes @bostonglobe reader Kristen Daudelin. #BGLettershttps://trib.al/BwYR9hl 

The exclusion of dark-skinned Afro-Latinos from #InTheHeightsMovie highlights the blatant colorism among Latinos, writes @marcela_elisa.https://trib.al/C69Ji2G 

Editorial: #SCOTUS asked the Biden administration whether it should weigh in on the Harvard affirmative action case. The answer should already be clear: Let the lower courts’ rulings stand.https://trib.al/Qe6JFHN 

When the rituals of death are not available to us, we may find that our grief cannot run its course, writes @adammansbach.https://trib.al/OWZk19w 

Editorial: With enrollment at community and some state colleges declining, offering immigrant students in-state tuition rates would be a win-win for both the schools and the students.https://trib.al/5lCIq3c 

The Biden administration is using a ruling authored by Trump-appointed #SCOTUS Justice Neil Gorsuch to fight back against Republican efforts to ban transgender girls from participating in school sports, writes @KimberlyEAtkins.https://trib.al/lS8L0AT 

Ten percent of the plants in the @ArnoldArboretum are now endangered in the wild, making the park more a kind of Noah’s Ark than a museum, writes @reneeloth.https://trib.al/IxIvj8U 

When @adammansbach lost his brother, he writes that he didn’t know how to grieve, “not because I lacked experience, but because suicide obliterates the rituals we have built around death.”https://trib.al/gYqV2Oz 

Editorial: For at least 15 years, Massachusetts lawmakers have played politics with giving in-state tuition rates to immigrant students. It’s time the games stopped. #mapolihttps://trib.al/KcEFsLW 

On Saturday night, @bostonglobe reader Kristen Daudelin was heading home from the Seaport. But there were no Lyfts, Ubers, or cabs available — just unmarked cars offering rides for cash. #BGLettershttps://trib.al/fqDOieB 

As more people recognize #Juneteenth, complicated historical events like slavery, the Civil War, and emancipation may become flattened and superficial in the national memory, writes the @AntiracismCtr’s @JemarTisby.https://trib.al/j7IKOLB
