Dr. Martha Bridge Denckla: An Expert Voice from Johns Hopkins
To the Editor:
I agree with the research presented by Dr.Denckla. I teach kindergarten in Houston, and can see that the students are being pushed to do things that they are not ready to master.

To the Editor:
Thank heaven there are open doors for some of the less fortunate who desire change and a future upon their release. I am hoping for something similar for Crossroads Corrections Center in Cameroon, Mo.

Prison College Programs Unlock the Keys to Human Potential
To the Editor:
Found the article enlightening. Am glad to know that education is still to some effect being offered in prisons. Distressed that support is diminishing.
President Obama has stated in his State of the Union Address that we need all the educated American people we can get. What can we do to convince the Obama administration to repeal the portion of the 1994 Crime Act legislation, introduced by Joseph Biden? How would we go about doing this?

Ruth Lovelace is ‘Coach Love’ at Boys & Girls High, Brooklyn
To the Editor:
Have become a fan of Coach Ruth Lovelace and her team after seeing them for the first time on TV playing Winter Park High School, Florida, and St. Anthony High School, New Jersey. Want to encourage her for making a huge difference in the lives of young African-American males. May God bless her for doing good work. We need African-American males to step up and be the positive difference in their families’ lives and in society. Wishing them a great finish to their 2010-2011 basketball season!
