Going away in a few minutes so will not be able to attend. But on a side note. I wish whoever is involved with the bikeway could enforce the bikes STOPPING...
Dear Friends - Bicycles and motor vehicles share the same roads and have the same responsibilities for obeying traffic laws. As a cycling activist and daily...

I would like to ask the members of the Lexington School Committee and all concerned members of Lexington Town Meeting to join me in condemning racially...
I agree with Jesse. In light of her position, McGuire's comments are outrageous. I was livid when I first read about this, and drafted a post, but it read...
"The goal of racial integration should be the end of race-based judgments such as this." Jesse - Life in this country has always been nasty, brutish and...
P.S. - There is more racism, unintended though it may be, in Alan's and Jesse's comments, than in anything Jean McGuire has said, who is just telling it like...
I believe that criticism of Jean Maguire is warranted, but that we must keep the Metco program going no matter what she says. Some time ago we dropped the no...

My only reluctance in bringing this topic to the attention of Town Meeting was my concern that this might veer from a discussion of the public comments of the...
It is important to separate the job of METCO Director, and the METCO Program itself from the personal opinions of the person holding that job. Anyone has a...
I am astonished that anyone would consider firing someone from their position based on a personal political statement. McGuire made her statement as a citizen...

As I read it, Jesse and Alan represent the philosophy that any opinion or statement based on race at all is unacceptable. I understand them to be saying that...
David, if the No Place For Hate/Armenian Genocide question was appropriate for town action I believe it is at least appropriate for Town Meeting to discuss...
Art, Middle School social behavior, esp. among girls, can be horrid, cruel, and pack-like. A few weeks ago my white granddaughter took a seat in a classroom...

Dear Jesse - Racism poisons us all. I wrestle on a daily basis with my internal race-based responses to people whose skin color is different from mine. ...
Vicki: You've grossly over-simplified Jesse's and my concern. At its core, this is about hypocrisy. The METCO director's race-baiting statements are...
Ruth: I don't disagree with your description of middle school girls, but the racism component in their behaviour towards "the other" is very clear....

I in no way wrote that any opinion based on race is unacceptable. Frankly I'm flabbergasted as to how anyone could draw that conclusion from what I wrote....
