Policing concerns

The Education Debate of 2012

The Education Debate of 2012 as seen in the nation’s press has been centred on the validity of the single letter grade for the annual Bahamas General Certificate Secondary Education (BGCSE) exams.

We want a democratic Bahamas

  The alleged death threat against Free National Movement (FNM) Leader Dr Hubert Minnis (Killarney) in North Abaco may very well be an indication that some hate-mongers in this country would stop at nothing to silence the opposition and put to an end our democratic way of life.

The Cable Spring uprising

Boy, have I been waiting for this controversy to start. “Cable Spring” finally begins.

No first lady

As a people we just love titles but why are we now resorting to making them up?

Is this real policing?

ONE has to wonder if whomever is running the RBPF hasn’t lost a few marbles and is therefore incapable of prioritising police resource usage.

Seek out education experts

In recent times, members of The Nassau Institute, especially Mr Ralph Massey, and Mr Rick Lowe, has publicly bashed the educational system, as well as attempted to insult the expertise of educators.

"Speed Weeks" are an insult to auto racing

As a die hard racing fan who has followed motor sports since childhood, and one of the extremely few black people who follows this sport, I feel that I must comment on a certain upcoming sporting event that has been making the news lately.

Deputy Speaker Got It Wrong

I hope that by now somebody has pulled Deputy Speaker Dion Smith aside and given him a lecture about our parliamentary democracy.

BGCSE research is needed

I am writing in response to Mr Massey letter “BGCSE: Status Quo Is Unacceptable” dated August 29, 2012.

Will the real expert please stand up?

I have read letters to the local newspaper that have attacked the quality of education in The Bahamas, especially within government schools.

The risk of oil

With the recent announcement that Bahamas Petroleum has been granted a three year license extension, it seems as if this government is moving full steam ahead with plans to facilitate a referendum which, if passed, will allow oil drilling in our waters.

Questions for John Marquis

As we near the fortieth anniversary of independence, I too am saddened like John Marquis that some things never change.

Cable Bahamas needs competition

I would like to take some time to address the issue of Cable fees being raised.

On the referndum

How is it that political parties can acknowledge they have accepted money from "number house" owners and there seems to be very little or no public/religious expression of revulsion and disgrace.
