Subject: Nassau County's First Poet Laureate Content: June 4th SHOULD have been a day to celebrate. Instead it was a day to be ashamed of.... Our LEGISLATIVE branch dropped the ball. Rather than announce the appointment of Maxwell Corydon Wheat Jr. as NASSAU COUNTY'S First Poet Laureate, they choose to take their petty personal opinions to the podium. How embarrassing for the rest of us. How disappointed we are with the Legislative leadership. Poetry and Art are supposed to emote. If something makes you uncomfortable. There is a reason. If it makes you think, that can only be good. We need to think. Discomfort in a situation can cause you to change it. This situation is not over. t's bad enough that the part of our community that expresses themselves through the arts IS NOT supported in this COUNTY......but, to show how small and narrow minded the leadership is..... Well...that is truly sad. Not much on an example of FREEDOM from oppression from our culture our art, our emotional expressiveness....... Yesterday should have been a day for ALL of our community to celebrate...... Instead, it was a day to be ashamed of the leadership and the direction that our fair County is headed into....... |
