Buggery: Get Over It !

-
One Caribbean Nation.


 The Mahogany Coconut Group
The decision by the government of Trinidad and Tobago, to make buggery a crime of the past, should be welcomed by all progressive Caribbean thinkers.
Human sexuality and preferences, are difficult actions, to be controlled by the state. The fundamental right of adult and consenting citizens, to engage in the sexual acts of their choice, should never be the business of the state, unless they directly affect the lives of others.
We note, that as was expected, the Christian and other religious communities, are opposing the debunking of the buggery law. As always, we respect the positions of our Christian and other religious groups. However, they would do well, to look inward at their organizations and deal with the many acts of immorality, such as the sexual abuse of children, in their assemblies.
The Mahogany Coconut Group (MCG), has long maintained, that the opposition to male homosexual act, is the result, not only of biblical beliefs but the very physical act itself, which is often described as “nasty” because of the organs involved. Ironically, the same act of buggery when done by male and female intercourse, is widely practiced band accepted.
Perhaps a more direct response, to those who oppose the legalization of buggery and the homosexual act should be: Get Over It !

Education Reform

-
One Caribbean Nation. It is extremely difficult to believe that we are incapable of solving current challenges relating to crime and other acts of social deviancy. Our culture remains the foundation of our development. It has undergone tremendous change, both for the better and the worst, during the last four decades. However, we remain a society that still demonstrates some virtues of basic decency toward each other but we   have failed to recognize that culture must be maintained, instilled and explained to our citizens. We cannot continue to ignore the depth of cultural penetration , as we sought socio economic development during the post-independence period. To address this , we must seriously examine our education system . The present raging debate regarding the transformation of the system clearly shows we want change but also expect to cling to the status quo ; this creates a perfect   recipe for confusion. The current method of transferring children from the pr...

Abolish 11 - Plus

One Caribbean Nation. ‘Abolish 11-Plus’: VETERAN EDUCATOR ADAMS SLAMS ‘EXAM INEQUALITY’ By Sheria Brathwaite Former senator and retired principal Alwyn Adams on Friday reignited calls to scrap the Barbados Secondary School Entrance Examination, commonly known as the 11-Plus, describing it as an outdated relic of educational segregation that stifles the potential of the working class. While delivering the keynote address at Speech Day of St Leonard's Boys' Secondary School where he was once principal, Adams criticised the island's education system, declaring that it was failing the people and urgently needed reform. Repeating a call made two years ago, he argued that the common entrance examination is an antiquated mechanism designed to limit the academic advancement of Barbados' working class and perpetuate educational segregation. He said then that with Barbados having transitioned to a republic, the country ought to get rid of the current educational system which he...
