BERENSON--THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO IS HERE

The Fatherhood Manifesto is here!
Just in time for Father's Day - in print and on Kindle and Apple Books. (The audiobook is coming soon.)

Alex Berenson -Jun 7

TODAY’S THE DAY.

Even the left has noticed fathers need a boost.

The New York Times just ran a pre-Father’s Day piece from Ms. Darby Saxbe extolling the virtues of fatherhood: Ultimately, the traits of a good dad are also the traits of a good man: strength coupled with a willingness to look out for the young and vulnerable, to teach but also listen, to lead by example, to tackle daunting challenges and to persevere with grit…

Yes! I couldn’t agree more.

One problem, though. Once again, the Times thinks conversations about masculinity and fatherhood are too important to be left to, well, fathers. MORE AT The Fatherhood Manifesto is here! - by Alex Berenson

A LETTER TO THE PAPER---THE RECURRING TOPIC OF LAWN SIGNS

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

A LETTER TO THE PAPER---THE RECURRING TOPIC OF LAWN SIGNS

To the Editor:

Lawn signs are a recurring topic in Croton. There are periodic proposals to restrict the timeframe when political signs may be displayed, but such laws would run into constitutional problems.

However, the location of election signs may be regulated under certain circumstances. Signs in the village right-of-way used to be an issue until the Board of Trustees passed a law prohibiting such signs. For some years this has been rigidly enforced.

This year is different. Almost six months prior to the general election, signs are appearing for a candidate running for election in November and some of them are in the right-of-way.

I don’t have an objection in principle to election signs going up six months in advance, nor to candidate signs in the right-of-way. I do have an objection to selective code enforcement.

If the political party with a majority of Trustees wishes to place their candidate signs in the right-of-way they are free to change the village law. Until that time, village manager Healy should be enforcing the law that has been enforced against minority party candidates.

I am wary of laws restricting political speech— especially regarding elections. But our Board of Trustees has chosen to restrict electioneering and selective enforcement is neither fair nor is it constitutionally permissible.
