When there is a break in what often appears to be ubiquitous cloud cover, it should be noted.
Found this @http://www.uft.org/noteworthy-grads/noteworthy-graduates-judge-milton-tingling-nys-supreme-court-justice, and recognized the name. This judge, graduate of a Harlem public school, recognized Liberal-overreach, and called it.
In full disclosure, the UFT is ultraliberal, but there is some friction between same and Mayor Bloomberg, and that may explain why they posted this.
1. "Supreme Court of New York County ... Justice Milton A. Tingling is known in legal circles for a gentlemanly yet tenacious commitment to fairness and the separation of powers. He was suddenly propelled into the limelight when he opposed big government instead of Big Gulps, halting Mayor Bloombergs ban on oversized soft drinks one day before it was set to go into effect. Tingling called the limits arbitrary and capricious, ...
2. [As a] 2nd-grade student at PS 192 in Harlem....on a community outing to meet the nice policemen in the local precinct, 8-year-old Tingling walked right over to the captain and asked, Are all policemen honest? After the sharp little boy listened, he asked another question. What happens to them if theyre not?
3. 'I went to school in Harlem in the 1960s, first to PS 192, from kindergarten to 3rd grade. A bunch of us took a test for a new program called Intellectually Gifted Children at nearby PS 129, and I went there from grades 4 to 6. We took languages, which were not offered in regular public schools then, and I learned French; I also learned music and studied the violin.
4. When I first got elected to the Supreme Court in 2001, I started out my induction speech by saying that the best decision I ever made was to be born to my parents. I grew up in an educated family; my father was a judge, my mother a public school teacher for 30 years. We used to play educational games such as reciting the capitals of the 50 states or learning and using in a sentence the 10 new words my father gave us at the start of the week. There was a good deal of educational competition with my brother and sister.
5. The beauty of going to PS 192 and PS 129 was that what I was learning at home was being not only supplemented but enhanced, every day.
6. [In] Ms. Kirshner in 2nd grade is that you didnt just get excellent, good, fair or poor on your report card. She would put down words like superb, extraordinary. As a young child initially you had no idea what they meant, and she wouldnt tell you. You had to look them up. When you did, the feeling you got It made you feel like learning more, like working harder.
7. I went to a private high school, Horace Mann, and to be honest I never wouldve gotten there without the base of public school.
8. Those were some of the best days. When I became a judge, my 3rd-grade teacher, Ms. Commack, reached out to me; my teachers say they are proud of me. But not more than I am of them. Theres no way Id be doing this today without them. I would like to say thank you to the New York City public schools. Without you, we are lost."
