Dear Editor,

I oftentimes am not a ‘fan’ of attorney-at-law Peter Champagnie views, but I support his stance on The University of the West Indies Mona Law Society’s use of those images now much-talked-about on social media.

I am a ghetto youth and a big fan of dancehall, so some of these liberal folks on social media can’t draw that classism card on me. None of these well-privileged law students and professional lawyers can lecture me on dancehall culture and poverty.

And, if the law society really believed in the dancehall culture, why let one person cause them to cancel the event when they had the support from some well-known attorneys?

If these law students had dressed in carnival costumes I believe Champagnie would have had the same stance.

Also, most of these radical leftist-feminists, with their objectives, will call men sexist for talking about dress codes of women publicly.

You have certain professions that shouldn’t be watered down to please society. The military and the judiciary aren’t for social experiment.

I hope the students know that Peter Champagnie and folks like me don’t mean them any harm. I am a rebel, but with a cause.

Trying to turn the law profession into reggae, dancehall, hip hop, and other pop cultures is a no-no!
