The City University of New York (CUNY) has a problem: three of the six people charged in beating of policemen on the Brooklyn Bridge were teachers at CUNY (Eric Linsker, Cindy Gorn, and Jarrod Shanahan).[i]
Unfortunately, CUNY seems to have a soft spot for violent radicalism – and punching police is mild in comparison to the activities of past CUNY teachers

“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”

I’m pleased to respond to articles in the New York Post and Huffington Postcovering the Municipal ID program in NYC. Let me begin by stating that, rather than deflecting from the real issues at hand, I would like to answer logically for everyday New Yorkers who may not feel they have a voice.
The following letter by Fred Bedell was published in the Bayside Times.
I was at Our Lady of Snows in Floral Park on Sunday February 8th at the 9:30 A.M. Mass and the Rev. Kevin F. McBrien gave the Homily that I found most inspiring and heart warming. Father McBrien told of a young man going for his first job and had an interview and needed a tie. He went to Target in Raleigh, North Carolina and was looking for a clip on tie but couldn’t find one so proceeded to ask the cashier who said they didn’t have any right now. He explained his problem was that he didn’t know how to tie a regular one. She then called over the menswear salesman to help this young man. The salesman went out of his way to help this young man. He picked out the tie for him and went the extra mile and show him how to tie the tie properly. He than taught him how to act at an interview. First he told the young stranger to give his prospected boss a firm handshake, than look him straight in the eye and explain why he wanted to work for his company. Before leaving he told this young man to tuck in his shirt and to come back and tell everyone how he made out. Many of the workers heard this conversation and cheered this young man on and wished him luck as he left. Father McBrien said this demonstrated an the act of kindness.
