Setting the record straight on Mr. Boodram

Sep 25, 2009 Letters

Dear Editor,
I am replying to a letter by Mr. Annan Boodram of New York, denying that he wrote that Mr. Vishnu Bisram could be a teacher yet travel extensively, (“Misrepresented again, SN, September 19, 09).
In these days Mr. Editor, we have Google search. People cannot deny what they write anymore once it is in print and on the net. Here is what Annan Boodram wrote in the August 18, 2008 edition of your paper; “Given that Bisram is a teacher it would seem valid to wonder how he does so much traveling. But there are ways to accomplish this, not counting vacation time.” Nowhere in any of his letters did Mr. Boodram write what he has now produced in his September 2009 letter. Nowhere in his reply to me last year in defence of Bisram had he written about summer school and promotion as he is now claiming. I hope this is incontrovertible proof as to who has integrity and who misrepresents whom.
Let me close with two quotes from Mr. Bisram himself, a full time teacher. The first one is from a letter in the Kaieteur News dated March 25, 2008; “I conduct polls regularly; most recently last week, when I was in a Caribbean island supervising a poll. I am contracted to do another poll in another island in April, an Asian country in July, and a Pacific island in August.”  In the Kaieteur News of April 3, 2008, Bisram wrote again, the following; “By the way, I was in Trinidad in December 2007, Singapore in January, Trinidad in January, the Middle East in February, Las Vegas in March, Grenada and Trinidad in March and expect to be in Trinidad and Guyana in April.”
I will leave it to Mr. Boodram and the Board of the school that Mr. Bisram teaches at to explain how their students are taught by a teacher that is so often away from school. But one thing for sure that cannot be denied – Mr. Bisram has a lot of money because scientific polls are expensive to conduct and as we know, Mr. Bisram says he finances these projects himself
