Como te admir...Barbara you are the very very best. Como te admiro por la fuerza que demuestras como mujer y hermana con lo que escribes. No creo que es dificil para ti hablar con sinceridad, y por eso muchas gracias porque me das fuerza a mi, ya que como educadora de tantos anos, hay veces que me siento tan sola por mis opiniones y por no tolerar el bull shit que hay a veces en las escuelas. Gracias. Te admiramos, siempre.<BR/>Tu amiga de San Felipe,<BR/><BR/>VelmaVelma La De San Fehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18089026168789987670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19844626.post-33753318635841364932007-10-09T21:10:00.000-05:002007-10-09T21:10:00.000-05:00Thank you Stacey Medellin for carrying Las True St...Thank you Stacey Medellin for carrying Las True Stories; they are the best written stuff in San Antonio.<BR/><BR/><BR/>VelmaVelma La De San Fehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18089026168789987670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19844626.post-78958301684065752002007-09-23T20:56:00.000-05:002007-09-23T20:56:00.000-05:00I don't like how the Express-News is fanning the f...I don't like how the Express-News is fanning the flames on this issue. They claim to be partial and objective, yet they assign a reviewer for the WAR book, which lacks any mention of Latinos or Native Americans in WWII and therefore is historically inaccurate, and the Express News reviewer calls the bogus book "a well done and useful history." What!? <BR/><BR/>Why did the Express-News editor accept the review from a freelancer (actually a former Editor at the paper, so he should know better)? <BR/><BR/>Simple answer, so if the Express News received criticism for the review, they could say it was the reviewer's own opinion and not the editor's. <BR/><BR/>Yet the quote will probably be used by the publisher to promote the book and people will say, "oh, look, they liked it in San Antonio, so what was the big fuss about it being unfair to latinos?"<BR/><BR/>These editors are not uneducated, and they should be ashamed of trying to pull a fast one on us who normally don't read book reviews - just to divide us so they can sell newspapers. <BR/><BR/>Hearst newspapers are just as bad as Fox News.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494064265936842572noreply@blogger.com
