I turned on the news this morning and the incident about the kindergarten child, the teacher, and the other students’ behavior toward him, did not surprise me at all.

Whether we want to deny it, or try to find explanations, we have to admit that abuse does happen in our educational system. It’s not only in Mora County, but all over the nation.

Several Mora San Miguel Electric Cooperative members requested, in advance, to be placed on the Feb. 24 agenda for the monthly meeting of the MSMEC Board of Trustees to ask questions, present concerns about the troubled state of the co-op, and to formally charge that serious policy abuses have been taking place.  

True Grit is a movie based on a novel of the same name. The book relates an interesting detail left out of the movie: “I found myself in need of a road stake and I robbed one of them high-interest banks,” says Rooster Cogburn.  “Thought I was doing a good service. You can’t rob a thief, can you?”

“It is all stealing,” Mattie Ross replies.

“That was the position they taken in Las Vegas, New Mexico,” said Cogburn. “I had to fly for my life.”

I want to comment on Tom Clayton, Mack Allingham, Richard Flores and the chief of Las Vegas Police Department on their false allegations they printed in the Optic and the words they used to accuse of doing, but not proved guilty, in a court of law. We as human beings have constitutional rights, civil rights and legal rights, including innocent until proven guilty.

Yes, my son was arrested for drug trafficking and he has taken full responsibility for what he did. Not like this individual, they cannot take responsibility for their actions.
