Elmont board finalizes budget Plan would add full day pre-K, reduce taxes By RoBeRT TRAVeRSo rtraverso@liherald.com
The 2022-23 Elmont Union Free School District budget proposed by the Board of Education would introduce full-day pre-kindergarten in all district schools, and include a tax levy decrease of 0.07 percent, which would save the average resident $ 2 . 2 8 n e x t s ch o o l ye a r, according to the district. The $98.5 million spending plan would not cut any
educational programs or school staff. In addition to the pre-K program, which would be launched in September, the budget would enhance the district’s iPad program by replacing outdated devices; introduce digital smartboards in some classrooms; continue to fund academic programs, summer programs and enrichment opportunities; and support teacher training and the work of instructional coaches and school counselors.

Board of education VP outlines case for reelection By ROBERT TRAVERSO
Dr. Tameka Battle-Burkett, who has served as a trustee on the board of education of the Elmont Union Free School District for the past nine years and became vice president of the school board four years ago, pointed to her record as a supporter of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) goals as well as for the social, emotional and mental health of students as reasons why voters should reelect her. The trustee, who faces reelection on May 17 against first time candidate Fior melissa Johnson of Elmont, described herself as a “civic-minded person” and said she was driven to run for the school board nearly a decade ago by a conviction to serve. “I thought the best way to be a serving leader is by leading by example,” BattleBurkett, a 17-year Elmont resident, explained. A licensed recreational therapist and educator, Battle-Burkett said she has functioned as a “consensus builder” on the board, but stressed that she has collaborated with other trustees to support the district’s “vision of excellence,” which she said focuses on providing accessible, equitable education for students. This is likely why Battle-Burkett said the accomplishment she is most proud of throughout her nine-year term is the board’s proposed 2022-2023 district budget. While she touted the proposed budget as “fiscally responsible,” noting that it would not raise school taxes, she said the importance of the 2022-2023 plan is that it
proposes no cuts to educational programs for students. Battle-Burkett said she is also excited for the rollout of full-day pre-K, which is proposed in the budget, across the district next September.
Seeking to continue district vision
Hispanic woman with African descent and was born in the Dominican Republic, said in a previous Herald story. Battle-Burkett pointed out, also, that both the elementary and high schools districts in Elmont were the first statewide to implement the My Brother’s Keeper program, which aims to help young Black male students actualize. The trustee said she plans to help this program grow across Elmont schools. “It’s important that our scholars see themselves reflected in positions such as trustee,” Battle-Burkett, who added she herself is an “underrepresented faculty member in higher education,” said.
In the future, Battle-Burkett plans to continue bolstering the diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) goals of the district. In 2020, Battle-Burkett played an instrumental role in creating the district’s DEI plan, a fourphase program that aims to foster equitable opportunities for students. She also proposed a resolution, in light of the killing of Mental health and after George Floyd in May 2020, school programs DR.

hiring social workers, guidance counselors and support staff as well as offering mindfulness and breathing exercises. Battle-Burkett’s opponent, Fiormelissa Johnson, who has worked for nearly six years at the New York State Education Department in Albany, said in a previous story that she has heard from Elmont residents that further attention to afterschool programs is needed to better the wellbeing of students. The newcomer candidate said this would be a priority for her if elected on May 17. “Advocating for equitable access to education and mental health services for all children and members of my community is very important to me,” Johnson said, in agreement with her incumbent opponent on the need to better serve the socio-emotional and mental health needs of students following the pandemic. The trustee pointed to previously existing clubs and extracurricular activities at each school as well as two independently operated afterschool programs in the community and the new Police Activity League (PAL) in response to this concern. Battle-Burkett, who acknowledged that afterschool programs have always been a concern for residents, encouraged parents to enroll their students in these programs. The trustee expressed confidence in the district’s vision and said she plans to help implement it if reelected. “I’m confident that Elmont will continue to produce scholars who are civicminded, who are critical thinkers and, most importantly, who are 21st-century digital innovators,” Battle-Burkett said.
F.S. real estate firm strives to serve others By ROBERT TRAVERSO rtraverso@liherald.com
The Keller Williams Legendary real estate brokerage location in Franklin Square will be closed on May 12, when employees will journey to food shelters and community fridges across both Nassau County and Queens on the company’s annual Renew, Energize and Donate (R.E.D.) day of community service to deliver peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to individuals in need. On each R.E.D. day, held on the second Wednesday of May since 2009, every market center run by the firm nationwide closes to devote the day to serving others. “We’re closed for business that day; that is the business of the day – getting out there, getting these made and getting them to people who need them,” said Brian Wells, a team leader at the company’s Franklin Square location. The event was originally inspired by Mo Anderson, current vice-chair and former president and CEO of the firm, who is renowned for encouraging employees to “maintain high standards of character within both their personal and professional lives,” said Destiny Mateo, the company’s director of agent services, in a statement. During past years, Keller Williams Legendary has helped construct houses

“At the heart of Keller Williams’ culture is our shared commitment to community service,” the statement reads. Wells said donating to shelters seemed timely to the agents at the Franklin Square firm. “It just seemed like the right thing to do with people struggling right now
between the economy and Covid always coming back,” Wells said. “This is something we thought would be needed and would very beneficial for the people in need in our area,” he added. Agents will deliver sandwiches to 10 community fridges in Nassau and Queens as well as two local shelters, Terena Williams Glory House in Hempstead and The Bethany House in Baldwin. Mateo said the company hopes to reach as many people in need as possible, including those who do not live in shelters and may be benefited by the food drops. “It’s important we leave resources for the public to access easily since everyone’s circumstances are different,” she said. Wells said R.E.D. day proves to him how community-oriented the firm and its Franklin Square location is. “I love the fact that across the country every market center is doing this … it’s not all about business, it’s about helping people in the communities you work in,” Wells, who has worked at the company’s Franklin Square location since last November, said. “We’re here, and we’re here to help,” Wells said. “We are hoping that these sandwiches will reach those in need and are determined to help the Franklin Square and Queens community. May 12 we are going to make it rain PB and J!” Mateo said.

ly nice, almost therapeutic experience for a lot of students,” she said, adding that they find commonalities through speaking and expressing experiences they don’t normally share in the classroom. “It was my hope that the broader audience would someday see these, and have that feeling of connection with kids who they might not have connected with or had empathy for,” Cutron said, “and would look at them with a little more respect after hearing these stories.” More than 100 students, she said, have taken part in the project, which started
during the 2016-17 school year, and they have reveled in the experience. “It makes everyone feel closer and connected at the end,” Cutron said.

ing students’ experiences, but also to branch out and record the stories of Elmont community members. “We have such a beautifully diverse community, and everyone has a story to tell and wants their story to be heard,” Fulgieri said. “All of our stories are valuable … whether you’re a teenager or an 80-year-old, we all have something to bring to the table.” Now high school students are working with the Elmont library to interview library patrons and document their stories. Once recorded and uploaded online through “StoryCorps,” the stories shared by students and residents will be preserved digitally in the library’s historical archive as well as at the Library of Congress in Washington. Elmont High School junior Ajayda Griffith began talking with residents at the public library a month ago. “Through meeting with some of the elders in Elmont, I plan to ask all the right questions and unlock some of the more personal history hidden here in Elmont,” Griffith said. “This project is quite special to me in comparison to my others, because it allows me to form a stronger connection to my community,” Griffith said. “I think it is incredibly important to hear and share these stories with as many as possible while we still have the chance.” Cara Cutron, an English as a New Language teacher at the high school who has

Blakeman ends pandemic relief program By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com
Bruce Blakeman is ending Nassau County’s Household Assistance Program, intended to offer lower-income residents a one-time direct payment of $375. Signed into law last October when Blakeman’s predecessor, Laura Curran, was still county executive, the program was supposed to allocate up to $100 million in federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act as direct payments for up to 400,000 qualifying Nassau residents. The county overall received $193 million from the act, which President Joe Biden signed into law in March 2021. In a letter to county legislators, Blakeman said he wanted to stop the program because of “extremely low participation” and because the program seems to be “trickling out.” He would pull the plug May 15, allowing any applications submitted by that day to be processed, but nothing more after that. Roughly 70,000 payments were processed amounting to a little over $26 million — just a quarter of the monies budgeted for the program. To get the check, a household would have to submit an application with documentation verifying income, typically in the form of an income tax return, as well as provide proof of residency. The program has had a rather complicated history since Curran, a Democrat, first introduced it a year ago. The program’s first draft would have automatically issued checks to anyone receiving rebates through the state’s school tax relief or enhanced school tax relief programs. Homeowners with household income less than $500,000 and receiving

Any funds not used by 2026 must be returned to Washington. “I want to make sure that people are receiving the money they’re entitled to,” McKevitt said. “But the last thing I want to see is the federal government take the money back.” Democrats want Blakeman to keep the program in place at least through the end of the year, especially since the pool of eligible households grew significant with the income requirements dropping to below $76,050. There are restrictions as to what the county can do with the money — 50 pages of rules, in fact, Rhoads said. But Blakeman could use money to offset taxes, essentially giving homeowners a break there. Rhoads also would like to provide tuition assistance for anyone who lost their job, or students of parents who lost their jobs, to go to Nassau Community College either for job training or to simply qualify for scholarships. “I think there are lots of good the government could do with the money,” McKevitt said. “Whether it’s for infrastructure, whether it’s aid to veterans, I just want to make sure the money is used here and nsot sent back to Washington.”

Snapping a 30-game losing streak dating back to 2018 was just the start of something special for Sewanhaka’s softball program this spring. Behind pitcher Madison DeMaio, who struck out 10 in a season-opening victory over Floral Park on March 28, shortstop Lydia Braun and catcher Devin Schneidmuller, the upstart Indians captured 11 of their first 13 games and need one win in their final two or an Oyster Bay loss to claim the Conference V title. “That win over Floral Park was the first varsity win for every girl on our roster,” Sewanhaka coach Deirdre Kelly said. “It was great, especially for the seniors. I’m so happy they’re going out with a big year. We haven’t made the playoffs for a really long time so hopefully that’s something they’ll also experience.” In Conference V, only the champion has a chance to qualify for the playoffs and must win at least 70 percent of its games. As long as the Indians can manage a split of their last two, they’ll be playing into next week. “These girls take a lot of pride in getting better and winning,” Kelly said. “Our defense has really improved compared to recent years and about midway through the season we started hitting 1 through 9.” The way DeMaio, a sophomore, has been dominating in the circle, not much run support is needed. She has 161 strikeouts and single digit walks, Kelly said. She also hits cleanup and leads Sewanhaka in batting average. “I noticed her skill level right away in practice,” Kelly said of DeMaio, a transfer from Long Island Lutheran who no-hit Locust Valley in a 4-0 victory on May 5. “She wants the ball every game and has one of the best temperaments of anyone I’ve coached.” Schneidmuller, a junior, did some pitching last spring but has shifted mainly to backstop and developed instant chemistry with DeMaio, Kelly said. “Devin is spectacular behind the plate,” the coach said. “She calls all the pitches and is one of our leaders.” Schneidmuller hits third in the order and has power to all fields. She drove in

Senior Kaitlyn Albrektsen also pitched last season and now she’s leading the outfield in center. Junior Nicole Plascencia plays left, and juniors Mia Romero and Daniela Melara both contribute in right. The infield is anchored by Braun, a senior who also serves as the offensive catalyst from the leadoff spot. She tripled twice and scored both times against Locust Valley. “Lydia is our lightning rod,” Kelly
said. “She’s our best defensive player and if she gets on base, we’ll score.” Senior Jazmin Solorio-Pulido starts at first, sophomore Brooke Scicutella at third, and sophomore Gabriella Plascencia at second. “It’s been great to see how well the girls responded to both losses,” Kelly said. “They work hard in practice and are quick to compliment each other when someone makes a nice play. It’s really a cohesive group.”

Instilling skills for students to resolve conflicts A conflict resolution program was introduced at the Clara H. Carlson School in Elmont “to assist students with effectively and kindly resolving conflicts with their peers,” the Elmont Union Free School District said in a statement. School Counselor Jane Dragovich, who led the conflict resolution initiative, began teaching school-wide introductory lessons for the program on March 14. During these introductory discussions, each student received a paper conflict res-

The wheels for younger students consisted of pictures along with easier prompts; the wheel for older grades consisted of more in-depth descriptions of conflict resolution-related scenarios. These wheels, the district said, depict an approach to conflict resolution: “apologize, walk away, count to 10 and cool off, or hold a class meeting.” The initiative, which is being held in conjunction with the school’s student council, which also created videos that

Architect
your stairs and now realize how complicated this change can be. Usually the best way to go about it is to hire an architect who has the structural, construction, code and space planning knowledge to figure this out, since every home and every onte eeper property is a little different. The question about adding on leads to doing the zoning analysis, which means taking your property survey, which hopefully is readable and has setback distances and dimensions of the house. Many surveys are missing this information, or are unreadable because they have been hand-drawn or are old photocopies, but if they can be read, your building zone requires only a certain amount of lot area coverage by the home and a front side and rear setback distance from your property lines that must comply. The next challenge is to accurately measure and produce the floor plans of each floor so that the whole picture can be worked with. Moving the stairs around means trying to keep the basement stairs below the stairs to the second floor to save space, since the two stairs work together. Hallways, closets and bathrooms all need to be looked at to see if the stairs can be joined to the upper and lower spaces from a different direction without altering the main plumbing or greatly reducing the adjacent rooms. The building codes dictate that there are minimum sizes of rooms, especially bedrooms and hallways. Whenever this type of work is to be done, the whole design has to include the main first-floor living space objective, so a kitchen expansion, relocation of a dining room or elimination of a living room, for example, are taken into account. This is generally not a simple process, because the structural system of beams and walls will be changed and all loads, from the roof to the basement, must still be resolved through either the existing columns and beams or new ones that will need to be calculated. I often see where people have started the planning process themselves, sketching out ideas and realizing how complicated this can be. Until the whole picture of each floor plan, the structure and codes are applied, together, the final plan can’t be fully resolved. Good luck!

Q. Our house needs upgrading, and we’re hoping to create more space. Our stairs to the basement and the second floor are right in the middle of the house, and block everything. They’re also only a few feet from our front door. We’re thinking we can save some space by moving the stairs, and read what you wrote about circular stairs not being legal (as a main exit stair). Is it possible to have an addition on the front or side of the house, and how do we get to the upstairs hallway without losing a room? We want to have an open first floor after we move the stairs — that’s our main objective. Ask The What should we do? A. You have stared at

ho’s to blame for New York’s increase in crime, its high taxes and the general feeling of dread many of us feel? It would be wrong to hold state Democratic Party elected officials solely responsible. But to the extent that government is accountable for public safety, setting tax rates and public spending priorities, and the overall order of civil society, you’d have to cast the evil eye at the left. Democrats have controlled the governor’s office and the state senate John and Assembly o’Connell since 2019. They’ve had the majority in the Assembly since 1975. There are now 105 Democrats in the Assembly and only 43 Republicans. The Assembly Speaker, Carl Heastie, is a Democrat. In the state senate, there are 42 Democrats and 20 Republicans, and senate Llader Andrea Stewart-Cousins is a Democrat. Democrats serve as governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and comptroller. Both U.S. Senators are Democrats, as are 19 of 27 members of New York’s delegation in the House of Representatives. Given those stats, who else could be
T
responsible for failing to effectively deal with such quality-of-life issues as shootouts on city streets and incidents like the fight at the Roosevelt Field Mall on May 1, which reporters described as a “large disturbance” and a Twitter user called a “terrifying event.” It’s indisputable that the people in charge have not done nearly enough to help citizens feel secure in their homes, on their streets or at their kitchen tables at taxpreparation and householdbudgeting time. Happily, violent- and property-crime rates in Nassau County are extremely low, especially the further east you go from the Queens border. But that isn’t the case in New York City. CNN reported that Major crimes in New York City "spiked nearly 60 percent in February compared to the same month in 2021. The city recorded a 41 percent increase in overall major crime through the first months of 2022 compared to the same period last year, including a nearly 54 percent increase in robberies, a 56 percent increase in grand larceny incidents, and a 22 percent increase in rape reports.” The state budget is $216.5 billion. New York City’s budget is $98.5 billion. Next to funding pensions, health plans and civil
n
service compensation packages, New Yorkers want safe streets; clean, violencefree and timely public transportation; only enough taxation to meet voters’ priorities; pure water and properly inspected food establishments; non-ideological public-school curriculums taught by competent, background-checked educators; good parks and infrastructure in good repair. But it is unfair, wrong and too easy to simply blame Democrats. There used to be a saying about the state legislature — which applied to Republicans and Democrats — that it was more likely for Albany’s elected officials to leave office by indictment, arrest or resignation under legal pressure than by losing re-election. The problem isn’t in the parties, but in the system — systemic greed for money, power, celebrity or ego satisfaction. Instead of blaming Democrats, I think it’s the corrupt system of elections and governance that most interferes with effectively addressing our public policy problems. Cynically redrawing election-district borders to favor one party, making it therefore more likely that the majority party remains in power — gerrymandering — is one sign of that systemic corrup-
o matter the systemic corruption, we have the power to make changes.
tion, one that the controlling party has no interest in fixing. The system that permits district attorneys, such as Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, to decide which felonies and violent misdemeanors are prosecuted is destructive of good community order. The system that releases even violent offenders without bail — euphemistically called “bail reform” by liberal politicians — encourages recurring criminal behavior and makes law-abiding citizens more vulnerable. The illegal system of trading campaign contributions for contract awards is another bastardization of political power. No matter what systemic corruptions exist, citizens still have the power to make changes, if only they vote. Far too many elections are decided by far too few voters as a percentage of those eligible to register and cast ballots. Democracy isn’t about the submission of the minority to the majority. Democracy works when the rate of participation exceeds citizens’ penchant for passivity. In spite of the prevalence of a leftleaning press and social media censorship, in spite of largely party-dominated candidate selections and other obstacles to fair elections, we citizens can rise up — and vote.

Threat to choice has women on the march
hirty years after the fact, I’ve decided to write about a personal time in my life. I’ve been thinking about that: how we tell the stories of our lives, what we include, what we choose to edit out and how powerful it is to share our truths with others. In some ways, that is what I’ve been doing in this space for many years. In addition to commenting on news and community life, I have shared bits and pieces of my family. My kids have grown up and left home and had their own RAnDi kids on this page. I KReiss went through cancer treatment with you. My life has been an open book. Well, perhaps semi-open. After all, I choose what to write about and what to keep to myself. I try to talk about something — an issue, a right of passage, a person in the news — that will resonate with others. Here is today’s story. If you don’t like it, I’m OK with that. Write back if you like. We can have a dialogue. Let’s keep
calm and carry on. In 1992, when my son was 21 and my daughter was 19, I got pregnant, and my husband and I chose to end the pregnancy. I was 45 years old at the time, and for many reasons we decided not to bring another baby into the world. I was able to go to my gynecologist, who performed the procedure in a safe hospital setting. I recovered. No one can presume to know how I felt then or how I feel now about that decision. It was mine and my husband’s to make. We carry the memories and the difficulties of that choice. We have no doubt that we did the right thing for us at that time. The only reason to talk about it now is to support other women’s right to choose. Over the years, in discussions with other people, religious or secular, conservative or liberal, white or Black, it always turns out that many women at the table have had abortions. We keep it private because it’s nobody else’s business. When and if women choose abortion, they should not have to walk by scream-
i
ing protesters or people carrying posters of mangled baby parts. The same people who lecture about the sanctity of “life” are busy voting down programs for the poor and the disadvantaged, eviscerating funding for mothers and preschoolers and health services in marginalized communities. The hypocrisy is infuriating. People who have money and connections will always be able to get abortions for themselves or their daughters, and that includes members of Congress and the courts. A ban on abortion falls most heavily on the shoulders of the poor and the powerless. We who support a woman’s right to choose would prefer abortions to be legal and safe and private. The morning-after pill is a good alternative, but the antichoice forces are going after that, too, even though it is an efficient way for a woman to make her own decisions about her body and her future. Today, Roe v. Wade is still the law of the land, but a leaked draft decision from the Supreme Court points to a majority vote that could overturn the law. For 50
t always turns out that many women at the table have had abortions. We keep it private.
years, women and men who care about the right to privacy and choice have felt protected, but not secure, with this freedom. I never believed that the right to an abortion would survive without vigilance. I marched on Washington, D.C., with hundreds of thousands of other prochoice Americans in 1992, when George Herbert Walker Bush was in the White House. Factions in Pennsylvania were trying to pass a restrictive abortion law. The vibe from the Supreme Court was troubling. Roe v. Wade was 20 years old that year. I took a train from New York with my mother and my daughter, and we walked by the White House to raise our voices in defense of ourselves and the women to come after us. I never imagined then, and still can barely believe now, that after a 50-year precedent, a conservative majority may toss Roe in the shredder. I marched for choice with my mother and daughter. Now my daughter is marching with her daughter. It is a never-ending fight for women to claim the right to their own bodies and their own destiny. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

School board candidates should know the facts
a
fter a recent “meet the candidates” forum for one of the more than 125 education boards in Nassau County, the very people the candidates were soliciting votes from turned to social media to share their views. Their verdict? Some of the “facts” the candidates shared were not facts at all. And at least a few of them came off as illprepared to answer even the most straightforward questions — all while seemingly lacking knowledge of a proposed budget that would spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. It’s true, being a board trustee is not a paid position. Yet it is a volunteer post that comes with immense responsibility. First and foremost, it is an elected position — one with a duty to represent the community, and serve as a watchdog to help ensure that those millions of dollars are spent properly to educate every young person who walks through the door of a district school. “A school board member takes on one of the most important citizen responsibilities: overseeing the education of the community’s youth,” the New York State School Boards Association states on its website. A school board is a “uniquely American institution,” the association adds, which is also how we describe our form of

letters Would Walter Cronkite think Randi is fair? To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “Where have you gone, Walter Cronkite?” (April 28-May 4): I noticed a touch of bias that Cronkite himself would not have appreciated. I’m a few years younger than Ms. Kreiss, but I remember him well — “the most trusted man in America.” Ms. Kreiss tells us some of the horrific news of the day, but the only names she mentions are Ron DeSantis, Kevin McCarthy and the state of Florida. A few paragraphs later, she tells us of “fake news” and “The nascent Trump brain.” Are we to assume that in all the broadcasts she viewed that night, there was no mention of inflation, the southern border, violence and crime in the
representative democracy. Both systems need educated people to serve as elected representatives, and an informed electorate to vote intelligently. Just read any of the stories here in the Herald, and you can’t miss how politicized a lot of the banter has become. Mask mandates. Critical race theory. Gender. All have become hot topics, and have shifted conversations away from the usual budgets, capital improvements and administrative issues that typically dominate campaign stump speeches. These issues have pushed more candidates into these races than we’ve seen in the past, but more often than not, these candidates are laser-focused on their favorite issues and not knowledgeable at all when it comes to what, exactly, their duties would be as a trustee. The school boards association enumerates nearly a dozen main responsibilities someone elected to a board should focus on. They include creating a shared vision for the future of education while guiding the school district toward the goal of achieving optimum student performance. Boards also must provide rigorous accountability for students’ results, and support a healthy school district culture centered on work and learning, all while maintaining strong ethical standards. They must also develop a budget and present it to the community, which is what
local school districts — yours included — are doing right now. Boards of education should be filled with effective communicators, consensus builders and decision makers who are both community leaders and team players. Nassau County is blessed to have many such people qualified to take on the role of a trustee. They are elected or not elected for myriad reasons. However, voters should not have to consider whether candidates have enough information to articulate the issues and present accurate information. The key is trust. The community is trusting you to point the school district in the right direction. How does a trustee become informed? Being involved in the school community is a good first step. Be part of a school’s parent association. Volunteer. Attend education board meetings. Read — and even question — the information presented. But knowledge isn’t just reserved for those running for office. It’s up to the voter — you — as well. With the school budget, trustee and special propositions on the ballot on May 17, there are still a few days to become informed. Whether you are stumping for or against your district’s budget to be passed, or just voting in the election, before casting your ballot, know the facts.

L
ast week, Politico leaked a shocking (but not surprising) draft outlining the Supreme Court’s plan to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that made abortion a constitutionally protected right. The overturning of Roe would be a devastating blow to women’s rights, and underscores the crisis America is facing. We are seeing a rapid backslide of democracy, the steady stripping away of rights and an increasingly besieged working and middle class, aided and abetted by the election of Matthew Donald Trump the full-throatadarichev and ed embrace of authoritarianism by the modern Republican Party. We are living in desperate times, and a resurgent far right can only be defeated by an equally powerful liberal movement. All stops must be pulled out to protect democracy and prevent the creep of fascism. Against the backdrop of these developments, liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer recently retired, allowing President Biden to nominate the first black woman, the highly qualified Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, to the court, and
potentially lock in a liberal spot on the bench for another 30 years. It logically follows, then: If we must do everything we can, why not ask fellow liberal Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor to retire as well? The notion is not radical: Both women have enjoyed over a decade of service on the bench. They can retire with dignity, and can be reappointed to other judicial positions. And while Kagan and Sotomayor are relatively young justices, they are, respectively, the fifth- and third-oldest members of the court. Appointing younger justices would ensure that those seats remain liberal, and judges a decade younger could weather another Republican president. The appointment of two new justices could also serve as an opportunity to nominate those with other backgrounds, such as the first Asian-American or openly gay justice, to the bench. Under normal circumstances, I would not make such a suggestion. But the court’s liberal justices are caught in the crosshairs of circumstance, and must decide what matters more: their careers or democracy’s struggle. If Biden intends to push any more Supreme Court justices through, his window of opportunity is quickly closing.

ppointing younger justices would ensure that the seats remain liberal longer.
Letters streets, Afghanistan, Ukraine, shutting down our pipelines, the confusion and misstatements of President Biden or Vice President Harris, the high cost of fuel, or so many other negative issues that this administration is responsible for? My point is that if you’re going complain about the news, you should at least show both sides. My “side” would suggest that the current administration is destroying this country, and that the great America that Ms. Kreiss and I grew up in no longer exists. JOHn L. SULLIVAn Rockville Centre
What’s Randi’s agenda? To the Editor: Re “Where have you gone, Walter Cronkite?”: Currently, the journalism medium is one small step above politicians for honesty, integrity and believability. And Ms. Kreiss is part of all the misinformation. Walter Cronkite did not have an agenda. He just presented the news. The bill passed in Florida and
The midterm elections are coming up, Republicans are poised to retake the Senate, and at that point any judicial aspirations for the Biden administration would be over. Let’s not forget how Republicans stole a Supreme Court pick and more than 100 other judgeships from President Barack Obama. I don’t expect them to be any kinder to Biden. Still on the fence? Ask yourself, what would a Republican do? Read it here, quote me later: If a Republican wins the presidency in 2024, and if the Senate goes Republican, hard-right Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito will retire no later than mid-2026, allowing two fresh, 40-something conservative crusaders to take their place. This is why Republicans win — because Democrats are timid, while Republicans actually care about power. They will use any Machiavellian trick in the book to get their agenda passed. That’s why Republican state houses get to erase transgender individuals and rewrite history, while Biden has to sit and watch the courts undo his every move. Why Democrats won’t fight as hard for Black and brown, LGBT, Indigenous and poor Americans as hard as Republicans fight for white racists is a question for the philosophers.
While another two liberal justices wouldn’t hurt, the Biden administration must continue filling as many judicial vacancies on lower courts as possible. President Donald Trump left an indelible mark on the American judicial system, making more than 230 judicial appointments during his tenure. If Biden and Democrats at large want to bring the federal judiciary back to some semblance of normalcy, they must continue to confirm judges that will protect minority and voting rights post haste. There is a prescient quote that captures the zeitgeist we find ourselves in: “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” The words are commonly attributed to Theodore Roosevelt. This is Biden’s moment of decision. This is his one opportunity to yank the judiciary back to the middle and shape the Supreme Court in his favor, protecting our rights in the process. Whether he will seize this crucial moment in history and beat back the rising tide of authoritarianism and bigotry, or stand back as reactionary forces take over the country, remains to be seen.

signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis is properly called the Parental Rights in Education law. It prohibits classroom instruction in sexual orientation or gender identity from kindergarten to third grade. This is not a “Don’t Say Gay” law that targets LGBT people. Why can’t Ms. Kreiss write about both sides of this issue? Perhaps she believes that parents have no right to review what sexual material is being taught to their children. If that’s her opinion, she should say so. Disney had tax breaks for over 50 years, but she didn’t say that. Disney will now be treated the same as any other corporation licensed in Florida, and it’s about time. Treating Disney differently might lead to corruption charges and the appearance of impropriety. Ms. Kreiss wrote that “Israel and Gaza militants were at war.” This isn’t a war. Ukraine and Russia are at war. Gaza militants fire rockets into Israel, and Israel responds by sending airplanes to bomb the source of the rockets. That isn’t a war. That is periodic aggression and harassment. It’s obvious that Ms. Kreiss has an agenda, but she should at least be accurate with her words. SID KRIMSKy West Hempstead
