Letters to the Editor - February 2009

Immigration

To the Editor:

The unending problem in American public education is the conceding towards diversity, instead of emphasizing unity and primarily the English language. That’s what binds us together. If children feel “cast out,” it’s because they can’t communicate in the English language. Not the other way around, forcing them to remain within their own group.

To the Editor:

Let’s try to reach agreement on:

1. The objectives and priorities in “education,”

(including homes and communities as well as schools)

2. An honest evaluation of where we are, where we want to be, and how to get there (including priorities and continuous assessments.)

Edith’s Place: New Outfits for New Jobs for Students at CUNY

To the Editor:

When my aunt died, she willed her career wardrobe to be divided among up and coming business women. Having gone through the domestic violence system myself, I noted that plus sized women are often over-looked. I made it a point to give quality clothing to women who have little to start with. It is refreshing to see them included in the population.

Chicanos por la Causa out in the west is making similar leaps and bounds for the community in general.

Often in solving the larger community service challenges, we overlook small often seemingly superficial details.
