Appropriate the crèche
The Christmas crèche symbolizes the delivery of Jesus, Catholicism and Christianity itself (“Cast off this manger,” Dec. 8).
Father Stephen Josoma selected to make use of his church’s nativity scene to make a highly-charged and divisive political assertion about immigration. That displays poorly on his health as pastor and religious chief. The Archdiocese was right in demanding elimination of the signal.

Crime of ardour?
Fourteen-year-old Danika Troy was savagely murdered by two teen boys, Kimahri Blevins and Gabriel Williams (“Love lure of slain teen,” Dec. 9).
This monstrous crime occurred in Florida, which has capital punishment. These minors are despicable excuses for human beings and can by no means be rehabilitated.

Cease the thinsanity
As somebody who has skilled anorexia nervosa firsthand and with an older sister who died from it, I perceive Rikki Schlott’s issues in regards to the unfavourable results of unhealthy physique requirements set by Hollywood and influencers (“Save our ladies from countless thinsanity,” Dec. 11).
However Schlott is ignoring the issue brought on by the brand new weight-loss medication. Women with this consuming dysfunction are all the time unfailingly vibrant, and it’s simple for them to simple for them to avoid the medical system and procure these medication.
The mixture of weight-loss medication and self-starvation is a loss of life sentence. The mechanisms for acquiring these medication have to be policed extra rigorously.

‘We miss addicts’
A scholar at New York College mentioned “a big group is gone,” referring to a group of drug addicts, sellers and criminals in Washington Sq. Park (“Wash. Park’s too ‘Sq.’ now,” Dec. 7).
I’ve by no means heard of something so ridiculous. If you happen to really feel so badly, take them to your dorm. I’m certain your mother and father would love that.

Defend staff
New York enacted the Scaffold Legislation 140 years in the past to stop development challenge managers from shifting legal responsibility to staff for the supervisor’s personal negligence in accidents on high-risk development initiatives (“Finish NY’s ‘Scaffold’ Madness,” Editorial, Dec. 8).
At the moment, most critical accidents befall work crews composed of undocumented folks — usually, non-union crews. Their employers might protect themselves from legal responsibility for his or her failure to supply sufficient security tools and coaching by utilizing leverage corresponding to that of their nineteenth century counterparts.
Any laws meant to restructure New York’s Scaffold Legislation ought to proceed to guard these most weak staff.

A professional-choice idiot
As a Republican, I’ve all the time been a giant fan of Elise Stefanik (“A showdown with Stefanik,” Dec. 10).
I’ve additionally all the time appreciated Nassau County Govt Bruce Blakeman. Once I heard he was working for the GOP nomination for New York governor, I believed it could be tough to decide on who to vote for.
Then I heard Blakeman identifies as a “pro-choice Republican,” making my determination very simple. Silly man; being a pro-choice Republican is like being a vegetarian who devours meat.
