A politicized nativity scene and more: Letters – Latest News
Correct the crèche
The Christmas crèche symbolizes the beginning of Jesus, Catholicism and Christianity itself (“Do away with this manger,” Dec. 8).
Father Stephen Josoma selected to make use of his church’s nativity scene to make a highly-charged and divisive political assertion about immigration. That displays poorly on his fitness as pastor and non secular chief. The Archdiocese was appropriate in demanding removing of the signal.

Crime of ardour?
Fourteen-year-old Danika Troy was savagely murdered by two teen boys, Kimahri Blevins and Gabriel Williams (“Love lure of slain teen,” Dec. 9).
This monstrous crime occurred in Florida, which has capital punishment. These minors are despicable excuses for human beings and won’t ever be rehabilitated.

Stop the thinsanity
As somebody who has skilled anorexia nervosa firsthand and with an older sister who died from it, I perceive Rikki Schlott’s considerations concerning the unfavourable results of unhealthy physique requirements set by Hollywood and influencers (“Save our girls from endless thinsanity,” Dec. 11).
But Schlott is ignoring the issue attributable to the new weight-loss medicine. Girls with this eating dysfunction are all the time unfailingly vibrant, and it’s simple for them to simple for them to avoid the medical system and get hold of these medicine.
The mixture of weight-loss medicine and self-starvation is a death sentence. The mechanisms for acquiring these medicine should be policed more fastidiously.

‘We miss addicts’
A pupil at New York University mentioned “a large community is gone,” referring to a group of drug addicts, sellers and criminals in Washington Square Park (“Wash. Park’s too ‘Square’ now,” Dec. 7).
I’ve by no means heard of something so ridiculous. If you are feeling so badly, take them to your dorm. I’m sure your dad and mom would love that.

Protect employees
New York enacted the Scaffold Law 140 years in the past to stop construction project managers from shifting legal responsibility to employees for the supervisor’s own negligence in accidents on high-risk construction tasks (“End NY’s ‘Scaffold’ Insanity,” Editorial, Dec. 8).
Today, most severe accidents befall work crews composed of undocumented people — typically, non-union crews. Their employers might defend themselves from legal responsibility for his or her failure to supply enough security gear and coaching through the use of leverage corresponding to that of their nineteenth century counterparts.
Any laws meant to restructure New York’s Scaffold Law ought to proceed to guard these most weak employees.

A pro-choice idiot
As a Republican, I’ve all the time been a large fan of Elise Stefanik (“A showdown with Stefanik,” Dec. 10).
I’ve additionally all the time favored Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. When I heard he was working for the GOP nomination for New York governor, I believed it is likely to be tough to decide on who to vote for.
Then I heard Blakeman identifies as a “pro-choice Republican,” making my resolution very simple. Foolish man; being a pro-choice Republican is like being a vegetarian who devours meat.
