A lot of good ideas by those commenting here, but let me just say that a word of approval should also be given. We NEED police in the school. I just hope that this word "several" doesn't mean 7. He should assign at least 4 police officers to EACH of these schools, and work toward having at least 3 in ALL schools. 8-Mile Rock High School in Grand Bahama needs 20 police assigned there right now. Yes, 20. Anyone who disagrees with this is ill-informed or a part of the problem. Please don't go by the TINY bit of info you get in the newspaper.

The problems have gotten WAY out of hand, and just like a diabetic foot - now needs to be CUT OFF or else the patient (The Bahamas) is going to die.

There should be 500 police officers assigned to schools around the country from TODAY until the end of school and end of national examination period. Then this program can be reviewed and revised to be ready for September.

Other than what I have suggested above, we are just saying that we don't really care about our children and admitting that, in fact, they are just the result of broken condoms.

What a joke !!!! This debate was covered completely by the last election in which the Bahamian people chose to elect a "brave" man to represent them with the Queen's permission.

The Party that put forward a plan to make the Bahamas move toward becoming a republic was the Coalition of Independents, under their Chairman Charlotte Green.

The Bahamian people chose to remain slaves. End of story. Wait until the next 5 years silly rabbit.

More people moving around and spreading the virus. This economic activity must stop !!! Last week alone over 830 Bahamians died from the Coronavirus. Over 4,000 died in the month of February (so I heard). This is just crazy. Funeral home workers are having sleepless nights and no days off (contrary to labour law).

Yet, tourists are allowed to prance around hotel lobbies and casinos and elsewhere without wearing masks. Bahamians are ordered to wear masks, and like good well behaved slaves we don our masks daily. Live are saved.

I predict if Bahamians are allowed to go without masks, over 9,000 school children will die within 3 days and over 740,000 Bahamians will die in total in less than a week. Government must keep the mask laws, if we are to be allowed to live.

This would be great if they gave a damn and appointed a Governor General that was not party affiliated and they advised him on all "consultations" with the PM that the Constitution requires, instead of always having ceremonial rubber stamp lackeys.

We will see if they are lackeys too or if they're gonna take the bull by the horns and help us in that way.

With the reef they probably talking about giving money. It does no good to give money to the Bahamas - there is never any accountability. The people never see these "grants".

Exactly. They would rather watch children die in school. Well, they are getting their wish.

These disgusting people need to stop their foolishness. all of you who go to church under the current "pandemic" and put money in the plate are true idiots. The government telling you there is a pandemic. In pandemic you don't come out ya house unless necessary - but yall coming out wearing mask al on ya own to go give money?

This is more stupid that what the real slaves did in the 1800's. They were smart. They did not put on their shackles voluntarily and they sure as heck didn't give the massa no money. How stupid can Bahamians be? I wish there was a world-wide "Stupid Contest" so we could at least win something.

This man needs to pay attention to students who's lives are being ruined by wearing masks. Stop the foolishness. I didn't see the Prince and Princess wearing any. Bahamians are still black and second class it seems. When will slavery actually end?

Stop making our children breathe germs all days and be unable to speak properly and learn facial expressions. This is killing our children. How many children have died from Covid??? Zero. Those two who "died from Covid" had other serious health issues. If a car runs over you, you don't die from Covid.

She is complaining about things that need complaining about. There is a teacher shortage, for the reasons mentioned by commenters above. Watch for July 10th though, Bahamians will be out dancing and celebrating their "independence". The best slave is a slave who doesn't know he's a slave.

Please don't talk about illegals in the Bahamas - you will only end up losing your citizenship and getting locked up.

Good point, but we are where we are now, and so police are needed now. Stop the bleeding (literally) and then we can try lock up some parents also. Many many many of them need to be locked up. But, of course, those parents who need to be locked up and many of their friends and family members are voters and so Mr. Munroe can't put all of his voters in jail - and rightly so because if the majority of Bahamians WANT children to be stabbed in schools, then it is the responsibility (under a democracy) for the government to provide them with their wishes. Let the children be stabbed and killed - that's what the people want (probably because they couldn't afford an abortion in the first place, right?).
