Recently I wrote an article that brought attention to Central Bucks High School West’s Brown Student Union. It saddens me to inform the reader that our sponsor, Mr. David Manners, died on Jan. 24.
Mr. Manners provided guidance, motivation, and emotional support to the students of Central Bucks West and members of BSU.
Mr. Manners supplied an abundance of benevolence not only to me, but to everyone he encountered. He was devoted to the aid of others. He prioritized mental health and mindfulness.
Mr. Manners brought the quality of love to life.
Witnessing the heightened acts of violence and cruelty towards minorities across America infuriated me. I turned to my guidance counselor, Mr. Manners, for direction as to how to develop a club advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion within our school.
Throughout her years in the Central York School District, Princess Gabriel never sat in a classroom where a person of color stood at the chalkboard and lectured.
It didn’t seem that strange, for the most part, she remembers. All her neighbors were white, all her friends were white the lead characters in her favorite television shows were white.
As a student, she recalls reading only a handful of books that featured nonwhite perspectives titles such as To Kill a Mockingbird or Huckleberry Finn come to mind. But even when those novels featured people of color, she realized, the books were often written by white authors who failed to portray the Black characters with depth and thoughtfulness.
SHE has lit up the stage in Glasgow on many occasions, but for one Times Past reader, Dame Shirley Bassey’s most memorable performance was in an unexpected venue. “I was a shopfitter in Glasgow for many years of my working life, and I remember fitting out many of the city shops – Benefit on Argyle Street, Saxone on Sauchiehall Street and Buchanan Street, Pierre Cardin…” says John McCluskey, who now stays in Hamilton. “And guess who came to open the Sauchiehall Street branch of Saxone? “Shirley Bassey!” Shirley, famous for a string of hits including Bond songs Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever, was only 18 when she first appeared in Glasgow at the Empire Theatre, and she has played at many city venues since.
RECENT reports of children incarcerated in the prison system have convinced the ACT Law Society to again call for swift action on raising the age of criminal responsibility.
The tricky debate was first raised six months since a collective group of Canberra legal, human rights and service delivery organisations banded together to campaign to lift the age that a child can be arrested by police, put before a court and detained in youth detention from 10 to 14 years.
The revelation of over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander children in youth detention from the Productivity Commission this week and criticism of Australia for its slow action on raising the age of criminal responsibility from an United Nations Universal Periodic Review has brought the matter to the Law Society’s attention again.
