Donovan downer
<\/strong>
Donovan Richards\u2019 disgraceful \u201cvictory\u201d statement identified the real racist in the Queens Borough President race, and it wasn\u2019t his opponent, Elizabeth Crowley (\u201cDonovan Richards: Sore Winner,\u201d Editorial, July 8).
Now don\u2019t get me wrong, I am not a fan of Crowley, but compared to Donovan, she would be a major improvement.<\/p>\n

Donovan still only leads by a small margin. Hopefully, there will be a better choice come Election Day. Donovan is bad for Queens.<\/p>\n

Tenure tantrum<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you for reporting on the continuing saga of Nikole Hannah-Jones, and the extremely sad state of today\u2019s \u201chigher\u201d education (\u201cStuff your tenure,\u201d July 9).<\/p>\n

A whining woke person had a hissyfit because, initially, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill\u2019s School of Journalism (and its largest benefactor) had the integrity not to reward journalistic rubbish with tenure.<\/p>\n

Soon thereafter, the university caves to its woke pseudo-scholars after they unleash their pablum replete with their favorite word: \u201cracist.\u201d All good? No. The \u201cprofessor,\u201d in a huff, quit to now \u201cenlighten\u201d students at another college with her specious and flawed \u201cresearch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s the winner of all this? Clearly the UNC-Chapel Hill students. Alas, the woke can\u2019t go broke soon enough.<\/p>\n

Love it or leave it<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ryan Fazio\u2019s column on young Americans growing less proud of their nation was sadly true (\u201cLucky Stars,\u201d PostScript<\/a>, July 4). But it\u2019s not just young Americans who display disrespect and disloyalty for their country.<\/p>\n

Maybe we should open the borders totally and let all the immigrants who love America come in and tell those who only find fault with it that they are welcome to leave.<\/p>\n

To quote Fazio, \u201cThe character of America is always striving to be \u2018more perfect,\u2019 and we must continue to do so today. What separates America in human history is not its sins, but its virtues.\u201d God bless America!<\/p>\n

Anthem for all<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do not understand why PBS decided that Vanessa Williams should sing \u201cLift Every Heart and Sing\u201d when \u201cThe Star Spangled Banner\u201d already had been performed (\u201cRed glare over \u2018black anthem,\u2019\u200a\u201d July 5).<\/p>\n

It implies that our national anthem does not include people of color. Critics are correct; it is divisive to have done this.<\/p>\n

Besides being annoyed and angry at these political shenanigans, I see how they continue to chip away at feelings of good will, at a desire to work together, at a sense of unity.<\/p>\n

You have to question why PBS, the NBA and others disrespect our anthem. The obvious answer is not very reassuring.<\/p>\n

Harvard\u2019s diversity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kenny Xu seems to think that Harvard \u2014 and comparable institutions \u2014 are trade schools where a computer should determine the composition of the student body. (\u201cEnd Harvard Racism,\u201d PostOpinion, July 5).<\/p>\n

As a proud alumnus of Harvard, let me clarify the matter: These schools are leadership academies where every demographic deserves and has seats at the table.<\/p>\n

Admission to Harvard and its sister schools are not rewards for grinding out straight-A grades and perfect SAT scores. The most important measure is determining who can educate his\/her peers outside the classroom.<\/p>\n

The Harvard student body is currently 26 percent Asian. Where is the discrimination?<\/p>\n
