Lynbrook school officials seek $3.9 million facilities upgrade Projects to be covered by district reserve funds By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

Lynbrook school officials announced at the Dec. 1 Board of Education meeting that they would seek to use roughly $3.9 million in reserve funds to complete various projects. The school board plans to show preliminary designs for the plans at its Jan. 12 meeting. Renovation proposals include a new artificial-turf field and lights,

improvements to the courtyard and renovation of a classroom at North Middle School, as well as the remodeling of the cafeteria and restructuring of the parking lot at Marion Street Elementary School with added safety measures. Administrators would also seek to replace lights and the carpet on Marion Street’s turf field. Any projects that are finalized will appear on the budget vote ballot in May, and will be funded by the district’s capital reserves

at no additional cost to taxpayers. The projects are being proposed after Lynbrook High School received a major overhaul with a $28.9 million bond that voters approved in 2017. “It has been a collective effort to complete this project and expand the opportunities of Lynbrook High School’s students,” Schools Superintendent Dr. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

A jolly Santa tour to come through village

Spirits shine bright at holiday celebrations By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

The villages of Lynbrook and East Rockaway celebrated festive holiday gatherings last week. Lynbrook lit the menorah on Nov. 30 and then the Christmas tree on Sunday. “We had a really nice showing,” Mayor Alan Beach said. “It was a nice crowd.” He added that he was particularly impressed with the singing performance of the students from Temple Am Echad. Santa visited Atlantic Avenue at 5 p.m. Festivities included a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, performances and the blessing of the Creche. East Rockaway hosted its Hanukkah celebration with a menorah lighting on Dec. 2 at Village Hall and lit the tree on Dec. 3.

SANTA CLAUS AND the Lynbrook Fire Department plan to parade through the village streets on Saturday. Above, a map of the route.

The Lynbrook Fire Department is hosting a Santa Run through Lynbrook’s streets on Dec. 11, beginning at 2 p.m. It starts at Greis Park. The firefighters didn’t host their annual Christmas rides last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but they brought fire trucks to each neighborhood in the village, and they will once again do that this year. Lynbrook Fire Chief John Donald will lead all of Lynbrook’s fire engines, ladders and ambulances around the village streets, with lights flashing and sirens blaring. The guest of honor will be Santa Claus, who will ride on top of Lynbrook’s bucket truck and throw candy canes to onlookers while greeting youngsters.

Lynbrook earns safety award The Village of Lynbrook earned a Gold Award for its efforts during 2020 in AAA Northeast’s Community Traffic Safety Award Program. The announcement was made by program director of public and government affairs John Corlett. AAA has long recognized communities that make outstanding efforts to make the region’s roads safer for motorists, bicyclists and pededstrians. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 2020 was a difficult year to maintain many of the traditional traffic safety efforts typically conducted. However, Lynbrook was

cited for continuing and adjusting its many traffic safety efforts for 2020. A highlighted program initiated by Police Chief Brian Paladino was the “Stop Aggressive Driving Now” initiative, which tasked on each officer on tour to focus on aggressive driving in high crash areas, leading to a reduction in traffic incidents. The village also participated in a wide variety of enforcement programs, such as Click It or Ticket, Stop DWI, and conducted a variety of safety checkpoints. Courtesy AAA; compiled by Mike Smollins

Town Board OKs apartments, PILOT plan

ented development with 55 studios and 111 one-bedroom and 35 two-bedroom apartments. Additionally, 10 percent of the units are to be designated as affordable workforce housing, for individuals or families at or below 130 percent of the area’s median income. Workforce housing generally includes those who are not typically eligible for affordable housing programs. Fred Parola, the town IDA’s chief operating officer, said in October that the board believed the apartment complex would be a good fit for the village for many reasons, including “its proximity to the LIRR, the lack of impact on schools and the potential boon to downtown businesses.” The building’s first two floors will house a parking garage, with 205 parking spaces for residents. Amenities will include a retail café, clubroom, concierge, rooftop terrace with grill, lounge, party room and dog run. Experts have also estimated that owing to the large number of studios and one-bedroom apartments, six to 19 school-age children would likely be added to the district. Several village administrations have sought to develop the site over the years, but it took many years to persuade the owner to sell the property. Breslin Chief Development Officer David Orwasher said he thought the site was an ideal spot because of its proximity to the LIRR sta-

THE TOWN OF Hempstead approved a $95 million, 201-unit apartment complex that is slated for the site of the former Mangrove Feather factory. tion and downtown shops and restaurants. Breslin negotiated with Colliers International’s Jordan Baruch and Matthew Kucker, who brokered the deal. Beach said the 80-unit, $24 million Cornerstone at Yorkshire project under construction at the site of the former Capri Lynbrook Motor Inn is also progressing.

Developers from Terwillger & Bartone Properties received a 20-year PILOT for that project. Orwasher said in October that the developers were thoughtful when it comes to the community’s needs while seeking a PILOT from the IDA. “We’re very mindful of being good

neighbors, good corporate citizens and contributing to the vitality of the area,” he said. “The taxes will probably go up over time seven- to 10-fold. It will be a significant, significant revenue generator.” To learn more about the project, visit restore4347broadwaylynbrookstation.com.

LYNBROOK/EAST ROCKAWAY HERALD — December 9, 2021

Nassau County Executive-elect Bruce Blakeman has selected State Supreme Court Justice and Rockville Centre resident Thomas Adams to serve as Nassau County attorney. Adams, 72, is a former Nassau County administrative judge who oversaw more than 100 judges and 1,200 court employees. “Not only does Judge Adams have an excellent command of the law, he also has extremely good administrative skills,” Blakeman said. “Having served as an associate justice of the appellate division, where you have to make determinations about issues concer ning whether or not there was accordance Courtesy New York Courts with the law, Judge Adams has the expeROCKVILLE CENTRE RESIDENT Thomas rience necessary to run the law firm for Adams was appointed as Nassau County the county.” The County Attorney’s office defends attorney by County Executive-elect Bruce Nassau against lawsuits, including civil Blakeman. rights cases against police officers and Nassau County. property assessment challenges.

Melissa Burak said in a statement after the new wing opened. “It was our dream and our vision to get to where we are today. With the setbacks due to Covid and the delays in materials, it was truly a climb, but we are excited to welcome our students to the new spaces.” The bond, which included $5 million from reserve funds, paid for a new two-story, 33,274-square-foot extension to the high school that stretches from the front of the school, where the security vestibule is, to the fields. The first floor of the new addition houses a school store; three music rooms for the school’s band, chorus and orchestra; three art rooms; and an innovation lab for 21st-century learning. The second floor comprises five new classrooms, including two for family and consumer science classes and one for the career development program. In addition to an updated facade and brickwork at the LHS entrance, there are also extra security features, with visitors having to be buzzed in twice before enter-

ing the facility. The cafeteria was also upgraded, with repainted walls, new floors decked out in the green and gold school colors, new windows to provide natural lighting and a courtyard outside where students can gather during their lunch. Class of 2020 graduates buried a time capsule in the courtyard, which will be opened in 2040. The new addition also houses a nurses’ office closer to the high school entrance, which would provide easier access in an emergency. In addition to the new wing, the bond also covered a full-scale renovation of the school’s science wing, where walls were knocked down, rooms were rebuilt, and new research labs were installed with tables that are equipped with gas and water. The classrooms range from 922 to 1,633 square feet, and will provide space for more science, technology, engineering and math courses. “When you see the space and how much it enhances the educational process for our students, it really is a very exciting time,” Board of Education President William Belmont said when the wing opened.

WHAT’S NEWS IN AND OUT OF THE CLASSROOM

HERALD SCHOOLS East Rockaway hosts 10th annual Alumni Day The East Rockaway Junior-Senior High School hosted his 10th annual Alumni Day, which featured 24 graduates. Members of the class of 2021 shared insight with ninth- through 12th-graders about careers, college life, post-secondary preparations and adjusting to a new chapter in their lives. Their first-hand experience about transitioning from East Rockaway to their prospective institutions was meaningful for current students and staff. After the event, alumni were able to socialize among themselves and connect with former teachers. As a thank you, participating alumni were treated with pies from Cakes by Kat, which were crafted by pastry artist and chef Kat Del Valle (class of 2017).

Q. We moved into our house with a sloping backyard knowing we’d have to level it out. We found a guy who specializes in stack block walls on the internet, and saw pictures of his work, and are satisfied that he can do the job. He recommended calling an engineer or architect, which we did. That’s when we learned that the harder part of this is all the months we’re waiting for permits to make our backyard useful for our kids to play in. We couldn’t have imagined it was this complicated. Our neighbors don’t seem to mind that we’re going to do it, even saying that it should’ve been done long ago. Are we missing something here? Should we have just built this and waited to see if anyone even cared?

Hewlett Harbor

Spectacular Waterfront Estate

itting on 1.76 acres, this home is unlike anything you have ever experienced, with views of the water at every turn. The great hall with its curved windows and towering fireplace is a sight to be seen. The master bedroom has limitless views of the water, an enormous walk in closet and spa like bath. From the den to the formal dining room and the library, every room was designed to host and entertain countless friends and all your family. The detached guest house with a pool cabana, sauna, and steam room has plenty of space for an overnight stay. A waterfront compound unlike any other.

A. Your question is asked every day. Even officials, who would answer that you’re absolutely doing the right thing to get plans and permits, answer that they’re just doing their job, possibly intimating that they might agree with you. Truthfully, you are doing the right thing. Not just because of the paperwork, stages of review — includonte eeper ing a zoning variance — but because raising your property means high fences viewed from the bottom of the walls. Neighbors have complained, saying they’re looking up at the “Wall of China,” and municipalities reacted. Safety is why the process is worthwhile. A stacked block wall, done incorrectly, can give way, with costly — or deadly — consequences. I was once called to look at a predicament where someone using no formulas, no instructions (apparently) and no common sense built a chest-high wall, which began to drift and lean in the first rainstorm. It violated the laws of nature in that it did not have the ability to resist the hidden or plain-sight conditions. Yes, there are formulas, charts and tables developed for holding back land masses, just as there are formulas for designing columns and beams. In my experience, the less you know, the happier you are at the beginning of the process. The more you learn from what went wrong, especially after it goes terribly wrong, the worse off you’ll be. Well, it wasn’t even the leaning wall that was the biggest part of the problem. It was the fact that a few feet from the not-so-correctly built wall was a swimming pool made of gunnite. Gunnite is concrete that has been sprayed in layers onto a heavy mesh of woven reinforcing rods. It’s one of the strongest types of construction, so strong that it was used to form the hulls of PT boats in World War II to resist torpedoes. So when the landscaped wall drifted and leaned, the strongest kind of pool built began to twist like a pretzel. It wasn’t the wall that was the biggest problem; it was how to stabilize and stop the twisty pool from breaking apart. Hang in there. Fences and walls, not permits, are the bigger problem to solve, safely. Good luck!

OPINIONS

n the wake of his announcement that he is entering the Democratic primary for governor, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi faces a pretty daunting obstacle: New York City Democrats. The city’s Democratic voter base, and the political bosses who select their primary candidates, mock anyone beyond the five boroughs. They know their statewide candidates will need Long Island votes in the general election, but that doesn’t mean they want a Long Islander leading the ticket. Think RONALD J. of neighboring as deadly ROSENBERG Gotham kryptonite that destroys the aspirations of every suburban Democrat who wants a shot at running statewide. We already know the roster of Long Island politicians whose statewide campaigns died at the Queens line. Kathleen Rice and Steve Levy come immediately to mind, but there are others. In the 1960s, the highly respected Nassau Coun-

ty Executive Eugene Nickerson couldn’t win the Democratic primary for Senate, despite the backing of none other than Robert F. Kennedy. Huntington Town Supervisor Jerome Ambro took on Basil Paterson for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor in 1970. Ambro promptly lost that contest to Patterson. And Tom Suozzi knows what it’s like to run and lose a statewide primary race. In 2006, he ran against Eliot Spitzer for the Democratic nomination for governor. He quickly lost to the Manhattan-based Spitzer (although Spitzer may still wonder what his life might have been like had he lost and then quietly repaired to the family business of making millions in real estate). So why is it that Suozzi believes that this time is the charm? For starters, the Democratic Party is unrecognizable. There are more left-leaning city Democratic power players than Politburo members in Red Square on May Day. And that’s the least of it. Consider a New York Post report that

revealed how a Bronx-based congressman, Jamaal Bowman, “is facing the fury of the Democratic Socialists of America, who have accused him of betrayal for visiting Israel and meeting with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.” That action alone reveals that Suozzi’s Democratic Party has a cancer eating away at its soul. Suozzi’s primary strategy is to position himself as a centrist in a race that will compel Democrats to choose among the progressive, the progressive lite and the still to be politically defined gubernatorial incumbent. Suozzi will have the advantage of fundraising among deep-pocketed New York City business leaders who have the right to fear a state lurching left. They have been desperately looking for a “common-sense” Democrat whom they can support, so it is no accident that the phrase “common-sense candidate” is now Suozzi’s adopted slogan. While Suozzi and his primary competitors seek to position themselves for a win, they need to recognize that a primary victory is not an anointment to be gov-

ew York City has often proved poisonous for suburban Democrats.

ernor. As this past Election Day revealed, there is a quiet but seething anger among voters who rightly view the progressive/socialist agenda, such as “bail reform,” as destructive to their quality of life and core values. In a state reputed to be deeply blue, there is every reason to believe that a Republican gubernatorial candidate could win by tapping into the anger, and not a little bit of fear of where New York might be heading. Much the way the Red Wave on Election Night 2021 sent a strong message that voters are not going to follow a progressive manifesto, Republican Long Island Congressman Lee Zeldin could easily upset the pundits and assume office as the next governor of New York. If so, it would be nothing less than ironic if those Long Island Democrats who aspired to be governor but were blocked by New York City progressives got to attend the gubernatorial inauguration of a fellow Long Islander who ran on the Republican line. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Hoping for the gift of life in this season of giving

e was 49 years old in March, and he hopes to celebrate his 50th birthday next year. Anyone would wish the same, but Scott Englander, a Woodmere resident, faces an uncertain future. According to his mother, Arlene, after a catastrophic bacterial infection left him in a coma more than six years ago, Scott suffered both heart and kidney failure. His heart stabilized, but his kidney function continued to decline until he was forced to begin RANDI regular dialysis KREISS recently. He is being treated at the Julia and Israel Waldbaum Davida Dialysis facility in Great Neck, where he undergoes dialysis three times a week, for four and a half hours at a time. It is a grueling routine that leaves him exhausted. The only way off dialysis, however, is to get a kidney transplant. The family is hopes for a living donor, someone who finds it within him or herself to promise Scott another birthday, and another one after that. We have all read stories of selfless individuals who know they can live normally with one

kidney and are willing to come forward in an exceptional act of generosity. If you or someone you know would like more information about this process, please email scottneedsakidney@ gmail.com. I have known Arlene and Richard Englander for more than 50 years. We hadn’t connected in a long time when Arlene reached out, hoping to increase Scott’s chances of finding a kidney donor. They had already tried Zoom megacalls and bulk mailings and emails. Maybe, they thought, someone will read this and consider giving this gift of life. Perhaps the word will pass through our communities and someone will step forward. For the recipient, according to the National Kidney Transplant Foundation, “Your health and energy should improve. In fact, a successful kidney transplant may allow you to live the kind of life you were living before you got kidney disease. Studies show that people with kidney transplants live longer than those who remain on dialysis.” Unrelated individuals who make a good match may be able to donate one of their kidneys, in a living transplant. If a donor and recipient are incompatible,

there are “kidney swaps,” in which donors can provide kidneys to compatible recipients in exchange for a compatible donation to their intended recipient. Advances in kidney transplant have made it possible to do the surgeries laparoscopically, which leads to much shorter recovery times. Potential donors are carefully screened, and supported physically and emotionally. According to the Kidney Project at the University of California, San Francisco, some 100,000 patients in the United States are on the kidney transplant list, and the need for donor kidneys is rising 8 percent per year. The wait times for an organ vary from state to state. Fortunately, most insurance covers the expenses for both transplant donors and recipients. Many charitable groups offer travel and work compensation for donors. It is, of course, illegal to buy or sell human organs or tissue in the U.S. According to the Mayo Clinic, the hospital stay for most kidney donors is one or two days. Its website states, “After kidney donation, most people are able to return to normal daily activities after two to four weeks. You may be advised to avoid contact sports or other strenuous activities that may cause kidney dam-

local man who’d like to see his children grow up is in need of a new kidney.

age.” In the U.S., more than 6,000 livingorgan donations are completed each year. Living-kidney donation is the most common type of living-donor transplant. People can donate one of their two kidneys, and the remaining kidney is able to perform the necessary functions. For the recipient, receiving a kidney from a living donor is successful more than 98 percent of the time, according to the Mayo Clinic. If the kidney comes from a deceased donor, the success rate is 93 percent. Ongoing treatment tethered to dialysis is a difficult alternative. Scott Englander and his family are hoping for a living donor. He would like to go back to his work as a chiropractor and his life with his family. His roots in the community run deep: He went to the Number Six School, Lawrence Middle School, Lawrence High School, SUNY Albany and Life University in Georgia. Scott has been on the transplant list at the Northwell Health Transplant Center for two and a half years, his mother says. She says the expectation is a wait of some five to eight years to get a deceased person’s kidney. A living donor could come forward at any time. In a note to me this week, Scott said that he hopes for a kidney so that he may live long enough to see his children grow up. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Now, not later, is time to push for SALT reform

he Herald has editorialized a halfdozen times on Long Island’s desperate need to restore the federal income-tax deduction for state and local taxes, which the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, passed under President Donald Trump, limited to $10,000, costing many middle-class families here thousands of dollars annually. Now, it appears, we are on the brink of overturning the measure. Sustained political pressure is needed to see the elimination of the $10,000 SALT cap through to the finish line. That’s why we are encouraging readers to write to U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, both Democrats, to ensure that the proposal passes in the Senate when it is brought up for an upcoming vote. There is a false impression that the SALT deduction affords an unfair tax advantage only to the rich, a refrain repeated by conservative pundits across the nation. For decades, however, the deduction provided vital federal tax relief to middle-class families on Long Island and many other parts of the country. Many conservatives argue that any family earning above $100,000 per year is affluent, even rich. And, they say, most of the people taking the SALT deduction — 98 percent — have a household income above that figure, with 80 percent earning between $100,000 and $200,000 and 18 percent above $200,000. Meanwhile, the average family income nationwide is $67,000 a year, according to census data. That argument, however, does not account for regional cost differences — in

LETTERS Ida relief deadline extended to January To the Editor: The deadline for applications for the Hurricane Ida Relief Fund will be extended until Jan. 4 to provide aid to excluded survivors of the storm and flooding caused by its remnants. New Yorkers who are ineligible to receive storm recovery help through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Individual Assistance Program or other means can apply for funding that is being distributed through an established network of community organizations. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, my office has been fully committed to helping all New Yorkers recover from this devastating storm. With this extension to apply for resources, New Yorkers who are ineligible for FEMA relief and community organizations on the ground can now gather all the necessary information to apply for the funds that they need to rebuild.

particular, high property taxes in places like Long Island. It focuses only on income. Long Island is one of the most expensive places to live in the country. The median household income here, $116,000, would buy a whole lot in a state like Mississippi, where the median household income is about $42,000; or New Mexico, where it’s $46,300; or Idaho, where it’s $48,600. On Long Island, however, $116,000 is not rich. It’s middle class. So, while the SALT deduction has undoubtedly helped the wealthy, it has aided the middle class in high-cost regions like ours, and that is why it must be restored. The House of Representatives, led by Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Democrat from Glen Cove, recently passed SALT reform as part of the $2 trillion Build Back Better bill. Bravo! The legislation, if passed by the Senate, would smartly cap the deduction at $80,000, allowing middle-class families in states like New York and California to take advantage of the federal deduction, but still limiting it to prevent the truly wealthy from benefiting disproportionately. According to Suozzi, passage of SALT reform in the Senate would bring immediate tax relief to some 3.4 million New York taxpayers, including nearly 367,000 in Nassau alone. That would return dollars to our local economy, where they belong. Since enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act four years ago, New York has paid $12 billion more in federal taxes — money that has gone to states like Kentucky, home to Senate Minority Leader

Mitch McConnell, a Republican who led the charge alongside Trump to pass the act. The recent reform package passed in the House would raise the SALT deduction cap for nine years, through 2030. That seems fair. New Yorkers would have time to plan for its sunset. The legislation passed by Trump, on the other hand, caught many flatfooted, requiring desperate measures of them, including taking out loans just to pay their federal income taxes. The $80,000 cap would take effect on people’s 2021 federal tax bills, providing them nearly immediate relief — which would be vital, given the economic hardships that many households have been forced to endure because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Lest any U.S. senator believe that the desire to restore the SALT deduction is confined to states like New York and California, he or she need only look to recent comments by Tom Cochran, CEO and executive director of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, to understand that the sentiment is shared by many elected leaders and taxpayers nationwide. “On behalf of the nation’s mayors,” Cochran said, “I want to commend Congressman Suozzi for his hard work on this issue. He never stopped fighting to restore the state and local taxes [deduction] for middle-income families in all states.” Indeed. We mustn’t believe for a second, however, that the measure will pass in the Senate until it has. That is why we need everyone’s voice speaking out on this critical issue.

OPINIONS

n the wake of Democrats’ November election debacle, they are looking for who or what to blame. The initial targets are critical race theory, “wokeness,” and congressional progressives known as “the Squad,” in particular Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. If Democrats accept the narrative that swing voters rejected “extremism,” they are doomed to lose big in 2022 and 2024. Leading Republicans have not shied away from extremism. In fact, they have embraced it. When Arizona Rep. Paul ALAN Gosar tweeted animated videos SINGER showing him killing Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Biden with a sword, Republicans in Congress overwhelmingly voted against censuring him. They blame Biden for the recent spike in Covid-19 cases, while they actively campaign against mandatory vaccination and masking. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is promoting right-wing “replacement theories” that were behind the 2017 neoNazi rally in Charlottesville, Va. On Fox News, Gingrich accused leftists of trying to drown out “classic Americans” and replace them with people who know nothing of the country’s history and traditions because they want to “get rid of the rest of us.” Fox’s Tucker Carlson repeated Gingrich’s claims, accusing Democrats of

trying to “change the racial mix of the country” so they can “reduce the political power of people whose ancestors lived here.” Meanwhile, the Republican rank-andfile have disrupted local school board meetings, denouncing school curricula, library books and efforts to combat the pandemic. The New York Times reported a “disturbing spike in threats against school board officials” and “hundreds of intimidating messages to election officials in at least a dozen states.” The Democrats lost this year, however, because of their failure to articulate a clear agenda that would have provided an alternative narrative to GOP talking points; internal bickering that undermined legislative initiatives and made them appear incompetent; and deep-seated white racism that allowed the argument that critical race theory is invading our schools to take hold. In Kenosha, Wis., a largely white jury acquitted a 17-year-old white man who brought an assault rifle to a Black Lives Matter rally and killed two of the protesters because he thought he was defending himself from attack by his unarmed victims. That decision had nothing to do with critical race theory or leftwing “wokeness” and everything to do with white fear of Blacks. It was celebrated by white vigilante groups as justification for their behavior, and Kyle Rittenhouse was proclaimed a Second Amendment hero by

hey lost this year because of their failure to articulate a clear agenda.

LETTERS The extension bolsters the state’s commitment to support nonprofit organizations in a joint effort to distribute assistance to those who need to apply for it. As of Nov. 30, more than 1,800 people had reached out about this program, and of these initial contacts, 403 households had submitted applications, and 507 households had qualified for FEMA funds and have since been referred there. To date, 54 households have received $228,376. An additional 31 households have approved applications and are pending payment. In Nassau County, the contact point is the Economic Opportunity Commission, at 134 Jackson St. in Hempstead.

and I was honored to do so. The message from Rabbi Michael Cohen, of Central Synagogue, the Rev. Scott Ressman, of the United Church of Rockville Centre, Mayor Francis X. Murray and the organizers was clear: Hate has no home here — not now, not ever! One lesson of the 20th century is that the political ideology of the Proud Boys ends in the concentration camp. I was thus disheartened not to see the Diocese of Rockville Centre bishop or more representatives of Christian churches lend their voices to the demonstration. I consider this a serious abdication of their moral duty.

conservative politicians and right-wing news outlets. On CNN, the recently fired Chris Cuomo interviewed comedian and commentator Bill Maher about a supposed leftwing peril threatening the U.S., feeding him a series of softball questions. After acknowledging that “I’m not in schools” and “I have no interaction with children,” Maher said he had heard from people across the country that “kids are sometimes separated into groups, oppressor and oppressed” and are being taught that “racism is the essence of America.” He derided this practice as “just silly; it’s just virtue-signaling,” and accused people advocating for curriculum revision of being “afraid to acknowledge progress,” a psychological disorder he labeled “progressophobia.” I kept waiting for Cuomo to ask Maher for an example — any example — to support his claims, but Cuomo never did, and Maher never felt compelled to offer any evidence. On his HBO show, Maher promotes a group of contrarians who want to start their own college, where they will be free to present offensive ideas and dismiss objections without having to provide supporting evidence or answer to anyone. Cuomo never asked Maher about that, either. The more serious problems for Democrats and progressives worldwide are new surges of the coronavirus that have led to closings, supply-chain disruptions and

inflation spikes, as well as counterattacks on climate-change initiatives. In Europe, protests against newly imposed Covid-19 restrictions turned into riots in Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands, and in Germany they boosted the right-wing vote. This has nothing to do with teaching critical race theory in American schools and everything to do with international right-wing fear-mongering and mobilization. The other real problem is denial of the impending climate catastrophe, and efforts to block restrictions on the production and use of fossil fuels. Global leaders sang Kumbaya after the Glasgow Climate Change Conference and then went home, where they will implement inadequate or phantom measures. Wealthy GOP and fossil-fuel industry donors in the U.S. are pouring money into the re-election campaign accounts of nominally Democratic senators Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, and Kyrsten Sinema, of Arizona, to influence them to stand firm against cleanenergy initiatives. Again, this has nothing to do with “wokeness” or the fictional claim that children are being indoctrinated into critical race theory in American schools.
