An Academic Gap
I just finished the December issue of Marin
Magazine. Thank you for another excellent
issue. Tim Porter’s photojournalistic story
about Latinas in the Canal (“Niñas No More)
is positive and valuable. However, the challenge for Latinos and our society is with the
underperformance of Latino males. Latinas
have been steadily improving their high
school and college graduation rates while
Latino males fall further behind. While the
gender academic achievement gap among
Latinos is not as severe as that for blacks
(black females graduate from high school at a
rate of t wo to one over black males), the Latino
gap is rapidly approaching this ratio. Our soci-ety cannot afford to watch black and Latino
males drop out of high school and never attend
or graduate from college. ROBER TO HARO, LARKSPUR
Chief Talk
In regard to your article about Sausalito’s
police chief (Q&A, January 2013), I really
don’t care if she is a successful woman in a
man’s world, her statement, “I respect everyone’s right to have a gun …” is too much. This
attitude is the reason we have Columbine
and Sandy Hook. Is she for real? Does she not
know that most civilized countries have more
stringent gun laws than we have? Look around
at what is happening; we are not in the 18th
century. DONNA KOGAN, VIA EMAIL
Eds.: Jennifer Tejada, Sausalito’s police chief,
completes her quote in our article by saying,
“… but we have to balance that with the danger
of a gun being in the wrong hands.”
In the late ’90s I was on a panel of Novato citizens tasked with evaluating candidates for a
sergeant position on the NPD. It was an extensive and impressive evaluation, including
written material and oral interviews. While
all the candidates were qualified, one, Jennifer
Tejada, was clearly outstanding. From that
day forward, as she rose in the ranks, through
her last day in the NPD, Novato was blessed to
have her service. Our loss was Sausalito’s gain.
