Dear Editor,
I am flummoxed that there is not a single youth representative included in the eight member commissioners, moreover why 8 and not 9 or 13 ? No youth representative or an odd number is a nonstarter for a number of reasons.
First the youth is who will change the attitude of parents that will create the changes sought by the ERC because they have the least bias when it comes to discrimination and racism. They are more intolerant and impartial to the rigidity of conservatism that are mostly ineffective and consists of outdated thinking. Besides, those policies have always benefited a handful of disingenuous benefactors. Young people live by the ethos of Instagram and Facebook where they decide on what is moral, including dating or socializing with people who are different in every way. Ask any parent or guardian about their failure to imposed so called good conduct on their kids or impress the youths of today . The new ERC is really the Older ERC…it is not too late to add 5 more commissioners, besides where are the journalists, the students and the artists and the sports representative as well as the farmer or even the multimillionaire. I truly believe those that have been excluded have value add to ERC achieving its objectives.
Then again there’s the counterfactual thinking that has the Republic remaining in the status quo. I firmly believe the youth of Guyana , if given a chance, will obliviate racism and discrimination from the Guyanese society once and for all.
Yours faithfully,
Keith Bernard
