NYPD Rough Up 15-Year-Old Honor Student In Mistaken Identity?

The New York Police Department (NYPD) allegedly roughed up 15-year-old honor student Brittany Rowley in a case of mistaken identity, the New York Daily News reports.

Brittany was handcuffed to a bench in a police stationhouse for three hours before the cops realized she nor her friend were not the black, shoplifting teens they suspected that they were. They were released, but Brittany says it was the worst experience she’s ever endured.

“It was terrifying,” Rowley, 15, said in an exclusive interview to The Daily News. “It is the most horrible thing I have ever experienced.”

Brittany’s father, Delmus Rowley, hired an attorney and has filed a $5.5 million lawsuit against the city and Sgt. Jonathan Catanzaro and Officer Stephen Nakao. According to court papers obtained by the Daily News, the suit alleges false arrest and excessive force.

 

 

The True Meaning of Education

True education’s root problem: Hypocrisy in religion

Who is determining our ‘diameter of knowledge’?

True Education: It’s ‘meaning’ and ‘purpose’

Agriculture: The Engine of Civilization

What is the meaning of the word “education”? It comes from two Latin words: A prefix educo or educare, which means “to lead,” or “to lead out from.”

“True Education” is an education that develops and cultivates the human being. And when you’re truly educated, you’re cultivated from within. Then when it comes out, and the world sees The Gift that God has given you, then you become The Glory of God.

Minister Farrakhan challenges educators at 3-day conference in Chicago

“If a curriculum does not prepare a student for life itself, then it is a worthless curriculum,” said Minister Farrakhan during his August 6 keynote address wrapping up the Nation of Islam's 4th Annual Educational Conference themed: “Developing A Nation of Readers.”

Minister Farrakhan said the Western world's educational system was designed to place educators under the control of the society's elite rulers making their student's unfit to become masters of their own destinies creating perpetual servants and slaves.

“He never educated you to be a ruler! He educated you to be ruled and to love it!” said the Minister. “You are a dreamer but not bringing dreams into reality.You live in a dream world, you live in a world of illusion that's why you go to sleep at night tormented because you never have achieved your dreams!”

Creating a supreme curriculum, supreme educators for students

He challenged teachers and educators to enact God-centered solutions in an educational system that has “flatlined” and failed to cultivate and educate Black children to achieve their inherent greatness. “We have to challenge this educational system or get out of it,” said Min. Farrakhan.

 Conference organizers wanted to provide practical ways to improve teachers, administrators and schools based on techniques and curriculum that properly prepare students for life.

“Whether it be the study technology or whether it be promoting literacy, the Minister wants us to get out into the community and help eliminate illiteracy in our community, we're just making it practical and hands-on,” said Dr. Larry Muhammad.

It is good to know that I am not alone in this assessment.  Perhaps the great teachings I'd received from my dad growing up in Bronx, N.Y. prepared me for such truths.  I hope that you, the readers, will take this article in a good spirit.  It is not about religion.  It is not about whether your faith-based is Christianity, or if you are a Muslim, or not.  It's not about whether you are a Jehovah Witness, or a Buddhist.

We - ALL OF US - must understand what is needed to educate our child[ren] with the understanding that it is their future - it is our legacy that must be preserved academically, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

We Need "Thinkers" and "Rulers!" Not 'puppets' and 'mimickers!'
