  "Koch Calls for Pundit’s Ouster from Shoah Council - Forward.com"
Former New York City Mayor Edward Koch has called for Dennis Prager to resign or be removed from United States Holocaust Memorial Council, in response to the pundit’s recent insistence that a Muslim congressman should not be sworn in using a Quran.
Koch, who served as a U.S. representative from 1969 to 1977, said he recalled using a Hebrew Bible at his initial, private swearing-in ceremony.
A number of commentators, including Koch, have criticized Prager for factual inaccuracies in his column, including the assertions that Jewish legislators have traditionally used the Christian Bible to take their oaths of office and that use of the Christian Bible is a traditional part of the official swearing-in ceremony.

Koch reviews a variety of excuses to abolish the death penalty.
The evaluation will: contain a brief overview of Koch's essay, state whether or not Koch's arguments were strong and persuasive, and state whether the essay was successful in what it was trying to say.
Koch was trying to say that if a person commits murder they deserve to die, but instead he loses readers because he compares innocent people going to the death penalty to the government making mistakes, which I must say was not a very good comparison for a former mayor.
