Jamaica Gleaner Letters
published: Saturday | July 3, 2004

LETTER OF THE DAY - The importance of a second language
THE EDITOR, Sir: EARLIER THIS year on May 27, the Alvernia Preparatory school in Kingston had their very own Spanish Day. For many students in the education system today, they are not offered the chance of learning a second language until high school.

Divert that energy to women's cause
THE EDITOR, Sir: THERE HAVE been many discussions, letters etc. concerning the recent developments in England when Beenie Man was banned from performing in a concert planned in that country. This was based on the homosexuals being upset over Beenie...


Finally, some JLP backbone
THE EDITOR, Sir: I AM filled with pride to see how much the Jamaica Labour Party is strongly becoming a party of men and women again.


Which Smile Jamaica?
THE EDITOR, Sir: I FEEL compelled to respond to John Roberts' letter of June 30, 2004 ("Dress to Impress, please").


Shame on you, Mr. Golding
THE EDITOR, Sir; I AM saddened to learn of the untimely departure of Edward Seaga as the leader of the Jamaica Labour Party and the way he has been treated by members of the party.

Patois and educational achievement
THE EDITOR, Sir: DOREEN MCLEOD-Bramwell's letter appearing in the June 29th edition of The Gleaner regarding patois and educational achievement provided for some interesting insights into people's attitude towards our native language.


Gay activists going too far
THE EDITOR, Sir: THESE GAY rights activists in the United Kingdom are taking things too far by preventing the Jamaican DJs from performing there. Whatever happened to freedom of thought and expression? If someone believes that something is immoral he...


In response to Valerie Walters
THE EDITOR, Sir: I WRITE in response to a letter published on June 29, 2004 in your publication from Valerie Walters of Annotto Bay.


Give teachers preferential treatment
THE EDITOR, Sir: IN LIGHT of the fact that tertiary education funding is no more, then no pressure should be placed on the graduates of tertiary institutions to give anything back except to those who have helped them along the rough and winding road.


Devil taking over Jamaica
THE EDITOR, Sir: I LIVE in Port Charlotte, Florida, and I keep up with my Jamaican news on the Internet.
