Letter From Brooklyn                                  




By Michael Headley                        
George Santos


What's all the Hullabaloo about Long Island Rep-elect George Santos not being allowed to be seated in congress, to represent Long Island and Queens 3rd District! (NY Post 12/22, 'But I can be a great Congressman').

So, what if he lied about where he attended College -later admitted that he never graduated, worked for Wall Street firms, poorly stated that he was vice president of a company, his Jewish heritage and his sexual orientation?

He didn't plagiarize his College class work nor said that he had graduated at the top of his law class, said that the Southern border was closed as record number of illegal immigrants daily surge it, and enter the USA -don't trust your lying eyes, verified that the Steele Dossier was factual in order to get a FISA warrant, tampered or destroyed thousands of emails- even acid wash servers, said that he had proof of Russian collusion that led to the Muller report, lied to the FBI or not revealing, the hearsay whistleblower, who led to a presidential  impeachment,  didn't tell congress that Twitter wasn't censoring conservative voices nor that initially, masks were not necessary to protect oneself from COVID-19, etcetera.

In today's world, regrettably, Santos' behavior seems to have matched all the qualifications for advancement to higher office.  His behavior is therefore a mere "tempest in a teapot"

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...
