關於停職波士頓警察局長 Kim Janey、吳弭都有話要說
From Kim Janey: I respect Judge
Brieger’s decision to take more time before issuing a ruling in this case and
appreciate her intent to rule as soon as possible. The people of Boston and
the Boston Police Department deserve leadership that shares our goal of
safety, healing, and justice. We look forward to the court’s ruling. From Michelle Wu: Statement: Michelle Wu on Ongoing Developments with Regards to Police Commissioner Dennis White Boston, MA— The following statement can be attributed to Boston City Councilor At-Large and Mayoral Candidate Michelle Wu: “The role of police commissioner is one of the most impactful positions in the city, and we need a leader who can build trust with our communities to deliver deep structural and cultural reforms. Given the information revealed from the recent investigation, Dennis White cannot lead this department. As Mayor, I will lead a comprehensive vetting process and national search to engage community in choosing a permanent police commissioner to shift to a public health-led approach, demilitarize our police, and rein in ballooning overtime costs. These changes must be embedded in the new police contracts, which the city is currently negotiating. The public deserves and needs an update on the state of those ongoing negotiations.
With only a little over five months to go until a new
administration, the new Mayor should launch a comprehensive, national search to
fill this post upon taking office in November. The decision naming Boston’s
next permanent police commissioner should wait until after the mayoral
election, and the interim leadership should work with community to address the
urgent issues at hand: planning for a healthy, safe summer; strengthening the
newly formed Office of Police Accountability & Transparency; and setting a
course for transparent contract negotiations to set the stage for the changes
we need.” |

波士頓考試學校錄取結果公佈爭議未息 張可仁提醒亞裔家長昆士中學前景好
今年申請入波士頓三所考試學校人數驟減近半。 (翻拍自波士頓公校網上數據) |
波士頓公校在4月底發出1314份邀請,給2426名申請入讀的7 年級及9年級新生中,通過審核者。根據波士頓公校公佈的數據,2020-2021學年有4010名學生申請入讀,有1433人獲得入學邀請。
波士頓三所考試學校今年發出的入學邀請數量。 |
根據波士頓公校在官網上公佈的數據,發給三所考試學校7及9年級新生邀請入學數量,依前述學校秩序為465+41,320+82, 189+217。
獲發考試學校入學邀請的族裔比率,在新做法下差異明顯。白人由
各族裔學生獲邀入讀考試學校比率的去年及今年比較。 |
以區域編號來看,多徹斯特(Dorchester)的02124區號,獲得的邀請數量最多,高達109+42人,最少的是02199後灣區,掛零。奧斯頓(Allston)及城中區(Downtown)各只1人。
波士頓華埠(Chinatown)今年只有7人獲得入學邀請。
波士頓環球報以往年贏得這三所考試學校最多學位的西洛士百利(West
Roxbury)為例,指出該區申請,獲得邀請入讀三所考試學校的7年級學生人數,在入學辦法限制每一郵遞區號可入讀比率後,從去年的133人降至今年的69人,學業成績至少A-,但麥特潘(Mattapan)獲得入學機會的學生人數卻倍增至51人,有些學生的學業成績平均只有B-。
去年10月,波士頓學校委員會就新辦法投票前,曾容許家長發言,結果爆發學校委員會主席模仿亞裔家長姓名發音,並語帶嘲諷後辭職風波,但學校委員會通過了礙於新冠疫情,今年波士頓市不為三所考試學校辦理考試,改以郵遞區號及學生在校成績為收取學生的評審標準,以做為促使考試學校學生人口結構多元化的試行辦法。波士頓考試校今年錄取的各郵遞區號學生人數。
許多白人及華裔家長對子女一整年準備考試,一下子苦心全付諸流水,非常氣憤。其中14名家長組成”波士頓學業卓越父母聯盟(Boston
Parent Coalition for Academic Excellence Corp)”,上法院提告,並上訴,但法院認為以郵政區域編號來劃分,並無種族歧視之嫌,結果駁回該案。
昆士中學校長張可仁在考試學校事件發生後,曾私下和一些家長說,不上考試學校,也不必憂心。進昆士中學,將來申請上大學,機會可能更好。
張可仁透露,近年來,該校畢業生有94%順利升讀大學,今年就有學生分別獲得耶魯,普林斯頓,約翰霍普金斯,康乃爾,威廉斯等名校的入學許可,去年有2人從哈佛,哥倫比亞大學畢業,今年還有1人要進賓州大學念博士。這幾年來,除了布朗大學之外,其他的著名常春藤名校,都有該校畢業生。
波士頓三所考試學校以郵遞區號及在校學業成績為錄取標準的作法,雖然是只實施一年的做法,波士頓公校一直有意尋找其他辦法,以期學生結構更多元化。今年過去以後,三所考試學校的未來命運難定,許多波士頓家長開始積極討論,提出波士頓市把學校委員會組成方式由指派改為民選,甚至解聘現任波士頓公校總監等要求,餘波仍在蕩漾。
美國土安全局終止與Bristol郡治安官辦公室的移民拘留所合約 麻州AG、民主黨主席都稱許
AG HEALEY’S STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO DECISION BY U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY TO TERMINATE CONTRACTS WITH BRISTOL COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
BOSTON — Today, Massachusetts Attorney General issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) decision to terminate contracts with the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) to house federal immigration detainees at the Bristol County Jail and House of Correction and participate in immigration enforcement.
“We commend DHS for ending its partnership with the
Bristol County Sheriff’s Office, which has a long history of abuse and neglect
of immigration detainees. Our extensive investigation and advocacy have made it
clear that the Sheriff’s Office is not willing to take any steps to protect the
rights and safety of detainees, and that ICE must sever ties with BCSO. This decision under the Biden Administration ensures
that the civil rights of immigrants are protected and not violated in a callous
disregard for human life and dignity.”
After an extensive
investigation into a May 1, 2020 incident at Bristol County Jail and House of
Correction, Attorney General Maura Healey issued
a December 2020 report finding that the
BCSO violated the civil rights of federal immigration detainees during the
course of responding to a disturbance in the unit where the detainees were
housed. The AG’s Office recommended a series of reforms to address the systemic
issues at the facility, ensure public health and safety, and protect the rights
of detainees. One of those recommendations was that DHS terminate its
partnership with the BCSO.
Last month, the AG’s Office
reached out to newly appointed DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to share the
report findings and ask DHS to terminate its contracts with BCSO.
Statement from Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair Gus Bickford on Termination of ICE Contract for Bristol Sheriff Thomas Hodgson
"Tom Hodgson, like his hero Donald Trump, is a
national disgrace and is unfit to serve in public office. This swift action by
the Biden administration provides yet another example that decency and humanity
has been restored to the White House."
