Right the crèche
The Christmas crèche symbolizes the start of Jesus, Catholicism and Christianity itself (“Cast off this manger,” Dec. 8).
Father Stephen Josoma selected to make use of his church’s nativity scene to make a highly-charged and divisive political assertion about immigration. That displays poorly on his health as pastor and non secular chief. The Archdiocese was appropriate in demanding elimination of the signal.

Crime of ardour?
Fourteen-year-old Danika Troy was savagely murdered by two teen boys, Kimahri Blevins and Gabriel Williams (“Love lure of slain teen,” Dec. 9).
This monstrous crime occurred in Florida, which has capital punishment. These minors are despicable excuses for human beings and can by no means be rehabilitated.

Cease the thinsanity
As somebody who has skilled anorexia nervosa firsthand and with an older sister who died from it, I perceive Rikki Schlott’s considerations in regards to the destructive results of unhealthy physique requirements set by Hollywood and influencers (“Save our women from limitless thinsanity,” Dec. 11).
However Schlott is ignoring the issue brought on by the brand new weight-loss medicine. Women with this consuming dysfunction are at all times unfailingly vivid, and it’s straightforward for them to straightforward for them to bypass the medical system and acquire these medicine.
The mix of weight-loss medicine and self-starvation is a dying sentence. The mechanisms for acquiring these medicine have to be policed extra fastidiously.

‘We miss addicts’
A scholar at New York College mentioned “a big neighborhood is gone,” referring to a neighborhood of drug addicts, sellers and criminals in Washington Sq. Park (“Wash. Park’s too ‘Sq.’ now,” Dec. 7).
I’ve by no means heard of something so ridiculous. In the event you really feel so badly, take them to your dorm. I’m positive your dad and mom would love that.

Shield staff
New York enacted the Scaffold Regulation 140 years in the past to stop building mission managers from shifting legal responsibility to staff for the supervisor’s personal negligence in accidents on high-risk building tasks (“Finish NY’s ‘Scaffold’ Madness,” Editorial, Dec. 8).
As we speak, most critical accidents befall work crews composed of undocumented folks — typically, non-union crews. Their employers may protect themselves from legal responsibility for his or her failure to offer enough security tools and coaching by utilizing leverage akin to that of their nineteenth century counterparts.
Any laws supposed to restructure New York’s Scaffold Regulation ought to proceed to guard these most susceptible staff.

A professional-choice idiot
As a Republican, I’ve at all times been an enormous fan of Elise Stefanik (“A showdown with Stefanik,” Dec. 10).
I’ve additionally at all times appreciated Nassau County Government Bruce Blakeman. Once I heard he was operating for the GOP nomination for New York governor, I believed it could be tough to decide on who to vote for.
Then I heard Blakeman identifies as a “pro-choice Republican,” making my choice very straightforward. Silly man; being a pro-choice Republican is like being a vegetarian who devours meat.
