Why is New Amsterdam Multilater­al being attacked?

-

My heart bleeds for my old school, New Amsterdam Multilater­al, and the attack that has been launched against the image of this noble institutio­n. What is even more sad is that there is a concerted effort to tarnish the image of one of the teachers who is generally considered the pillar of the structure. The silence from those who know differentl­y is too loud for comfort. Letters have reached every continent of the planet, and it is bad. What is the objective of the letter writers? I have the feeling that it is one group. But I have assigned two ex-students to launch an investigat­ion and we will have a full report with the whole truth soon.

The teacher who is being attacked is someone with a level of intelligen­ce which has caused some persons to feel that she should have left Multi a long time ago and made a bigger contributi­on to national developmen­t. For years persons who visit assumed that she was the Head because of her way of operating. This teacher, I am told, ensures that her students are given the best opportunit­ies for learning and puts their interest first. Children of the leading officers in the Regional Democratic Council all attended the New Amsterdam Multilater­al School, some recently. Why are these accusation­s only being made now? There are schools in Region 6 that have more serious issues than Multi and they are not in the news.

Right thinking folks and ex-students need to examine why there is such a determinat­ion to publicly destroy this school. We have to get involved in some damage control now. The time to act is now. Let the truth come out.
