Cuban librarians chide proposed book ban
quote:
Cuban librarians on Friday criticized attempts by the Miami-Dade County school board to ban a children's book that presents a positive depiction of life on the communist-run island."It's outrageous the Miami school libraries would prohibit the presence of the book 'Vamos a Cuba' because it shows the truth about how our children live," librarian Margarita Bellas Vilarino told the state newspaper Juventud Rebelde.
... and before Adam and the other Miami based trolls say "what about that evil Castro"? quote:
President Fidel Castro said in 1998 that there was no official prohibition of any books on the island, only a lack of funds to buy them. Challenging that, Cuban dissidents began lending books from their own private collections, dubbing them "independent libraries" and they have been largely tolerated by the government.
So the Miami mafia is free to send whatever books they want to Cuba, but anything pro-revolutionary is banned in Florida? Attention Cuban bashers; your spin awaits! [ 30 June 2006: Message edited by: a lonely worker ]

It said largely, as in largest part of Canadian's who are not homeless in February while drowning in a sea of timber and other natural wealth, or the largest part of Northern Canada with infant mortality rates comparable to Kazakhstan's. Or the largest portion of Washingtonians not experiencing abject poverty in the shadows of the White House, or the largely black population in the Southern U.S. who were denied Cuban emergency assistance in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.How the GOP gamed the system in Florida quote:
On July 10, 2000, in the midst of the presidential campaign, GOP candidate George W. Bush addressed the national NAACP convention in Baltimore and denounced such "new forms of racism" as racial profiling and redlining. But even as he spoke, a very old, traditional form of racism was being implemented in Florida: the disfranchisement of eligible voters, especially blacks, which helped Bush win that state and the election.
President Dubya isn't just a cosmetic leader, he's an illegit cosmetic leader. And Stephen Harper, who sits in Ottawa with less than 24 percent of the eligible vote, just wants to lick Dubya's boots.
