FAUCI FINALLY REVERSES COURSE, AGREES KEEPING SCHOOLS CLOSED DURING COVID WAS "MISTAKE"

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top adviser to two presidential administrations during the COVID-19 pandemic, reversed course in a Tuesday interview and agreed that shutting down schools for more than a year due to the virus was a “mistake” — while also arguing the initial decision to close classrooms was correct.

“Keeping it for a year was not a good idea,” the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) told “CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil while talking about his new memoir “On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service.”

“So, that was a mistake in retrospect?” Dokoupil asked. “We will not repeat it?”

“Absolutely, yeah,” Fauci responded. MORE AT Dr. Anthony Fauci finally reverses course, agrees keeping schools closed during COVID was 'mistake' (nypost.com)

A parental rights group filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday accusing a New York school district of establishing “speech codes” that violate the First Amendment rights of conservative students, according to documents first shared with The Daily Wire.

The suit was filed by Parents Defending Education against Croton-Harmon Union Free School District north of New York City over its harassment and discrimination policies. It argues that the First and Fourteenth Amendment rights of students have been violated by the policies, which include requirements for students to use the “preferred pronouns” of others.

REQUEST FOR A RE-POST: Stumbled across this 1981 ad for Mother's Day featuring the latest jewelry from Leonore Doskow, Inc. CLICK ON THE IMAGE.

For those who don't know, the Doskows lived on Finney Farm. A world renowned silversmith , Leonore began her career while still a college student when she received permission from her dean to make her jewelry in the science laboratory. After studying Art History at the Sorbonne in Paris for a summer, she opened a tiny shop in Philadelphia. After a few years, she and her husband moved to New York City, but it was the middle of the Depression and they found themselves unemployed with a baby on the way. Lenore would make items like tie clips in large batches at home, and her husband David would sell them to gift shops and boutiques. They moved to Westchester in 1941, where their business flourished. She and her husband owned and operated Leonore Doskow, Inc., a jewelry company selling to upscale stores around the country from 1935 until the 1980s, when her son and his wife took over the company. Many of her early, pins, necklaces and bracelets are collector’s items. She died in 2009 at the age of 97 (info via The Croton Historical Society)

SOMEBODY'S GONNA GET HURT--A LETTER FROM BOB ANDERSON

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

The following letter appeared in last week's Gazette:

Letter to the Editor:

Somebody’s gonna get hurt! There are now more battery-operated conveyances around the village and on the sidewalks and roadways than ever before and I am concerned about safety for both drivers and pedestrians.

Some examples include bike riders on the sidewalks, bike riders pedaling through stop lights and stop signs. Segues, skateboards, scooters, unicycles...yes unicycles in the roadways and on the sidewalks. The ability of these vehicles to stop quickly is a problem.

Most of the riders do not have any helmets or safety gear and if they have the gear it hangs on the handlebars. This includes the non-battery bicycles as well. My favorite observation is the parent with children wearing helmets and the parent without. A mixed signal for children.

I was behind a weaving skateboard on Benedict Blvd., the other morning and the rider was listening to music or a podcast through his ear buds. At least I was aware of what was going on around me, he appeared to be elsewhere as he powered through the stop light at the end of the street without stopping. Nice hair blowing in the wind and no helmet. Someone's gonna get hurt!

Some pedal assist e-bikes now exceed 30 mph as do some of these other battery powered vehicles. Perhaps It is time to consider some regulations, registration, education, and enforcement. I would venture to say half the bikes around the village are not properly equipped with lights, horns, or bells to alert pedestrians. I also think most of the riders do not know the rules or that bicycles are considered vehicles.

I know some other towns and villages have helmet laws. Why not Croton? Are we worried that our small village identity would be compromised? Would we put that above safety?

The small village idea is disappearing quickly as more large-scale developments come online. Virtue signaling is not the answer. The 25-mph speed limit is an example. It is time to address these issues and not kick the can down the road. Educate and enforce or somebody’s gonna get hurt!
