Use some common sense

 

Re the March 19 article Bus driver gets reprieve: Broward Schools Superintendent Robert Muncie was right when he said “context does matter” to board members. It doesn’t appear the School Board can think outside the box. If my son were in the military and in a combat zone, there is no way I wouldn’t take his call.

It might just be the last time I’d ever talk to him. Besides, she had no students on her bus, was close to where the buses are to be parked and had never had any reprimands.

The board needs to get a heart.

    Juneteenth — a celebration of freedom

    Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day, is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, the Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas with the news that the war had ended and freed all remaining slaves. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation — which had become official on Jan. 1, 1863.

  • Bees not news

    Re the June 16 story Miami couple saddened after bee hive destroyed: It must have been a slow news day for the Miami Herald. This article took up two-thirds of a page in the newspaper’s local section.

  • Bees could be saved

    An experienced bee keeper could have moved the beehive to a less troublesome location; perhaps on the couple’s property where they could continue to enjoy the bees and the bees could continue to do their good work.
