Migrant college students
Simply to be clear: Over the previous three years, New York Metropolis faculties have misplaced hundreds of kids to non-public faculties and households shifting (“Migrant enhance in faculties,” Sept. 9).
Some 1,400 (and counting) have been added by way of migrants touring to New York.
Since federal and state funding for faculties is predicated on enrollment, the Division of Schooling must be welcoming migrants to the town. Certainly, Colleges Chancellor David Banks made that clear: “As the faculties get extra college students, they'll get extra funds.”
Mayor Adams would then be off the hook for his cuts to training within the metropolis’s funds.

Memphis homicide
There's something essentially incorrect with our judicial system. The case of crazed Memphis lunatic Ezekiel Kelly is a harrowing instance (“Tenn. ‘shoot spree’ arrest,” Sept. 8).
As The Submit reported on Thursday, Kelly served simply 21 months of a three-year sentence referring to prices of tried first-degree homicide, reckless endangerment and different offenses.
A sentence of solely three years for such heinous crimes is unhealthy sufficient. However for the system to launch him after he’d served solely 21 months is meaningless.
Kelly is now a suspect in a murderous rampage that terrorized and locked down Memphis for hours. He crossed state traces into Mississippi throughout his insane killing spree, giving this case federal jurisdiction. Kelly and others like him should now not be coddled by our authorized system.

Masks drop
I notice Gov. Hochul is working for her re-election and that should issue into all her choices (“A face-free trip,” Sept. 8).
Nevertheless, I don't imagine that eradicating the masks mandate goes to assist her politically.
Her opponent and his occasion have opposed all mandates for the reason that starting of the COVID outbreak. It's clearly an imposition and annoyance to watch the restrictions, however it's essential. It's one factor to calm down the restrictions in eating places and outlets the place folks can maintain a secure distance. It's one other factor on mass transit the place individuals are typically bunched collectively.
A frontrunner should make an unpopular stand as a result of it's proper, not supposedly politically expedient.

Music reminiscences
I beloved studying the article concerning the a centesimal anniversary of WABC radio (“Central station,” Sept. 7).
Radio was central to my childhood and teenage years. My era by no means went anyplace with out our valuable “transistor” radios. Cousin Brucie from ABC, Harry Harrison from WMCA and Murray the Ok from WINS had been like household. I cherish the reminiscences they created for me.
I used to be at Forest Hills Stadium in 1964 when the Beatles got here to the USA for the primary time. My voice was recorded when a number of of us managed to draw B. Mitchell Reed’s (the night time’s emcee) consideration. So, for at the very least a 12 months, our voices — screaming incoherently — began his present. Now, that’s a reminiscence few can boast!
Thanks to the entire DJs who gave my era a number of the greatest occasions of our lives.

I'm completely devastated by the passing of Bernard Shaw (“CNN’s Bernard Shaw, 82, dies,” Sept. 9).
He was a real icon in journalism, a person of large class and dignity and a consummate skilled. My deepest prayers and condolences exit to his household and pals.
