	PUERTO RICO HERALD: Puerto Rico Profile: Herman Badillo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)

		One of Badillo’s major contributions as a Congressman was a 1974 bill that mandated bilingual education in schools with high numbers of students for whom English is not their primary language.

	A Different Drummer: Nicholas Stix
		Badillo is a walking embodiment of the rule that in New York City, where talk of high-minded ideals is often no more than a front for ethnic and racial loyalty, politics is driven by ethnicity.
		Badillo had the greatest success at siphoning fl votes away from Percy Sutton, who was enraged (but at whom?) that he was able to win only 55 percent of the fl vote, but aside from some wealthy white socialists, Badillo had fallen back into the minority political ghetto.
		Badillo managed to gain the support of the majority of the coalition, including many fl votes, but the group's fl leaders were so racist, that as much as they wanted to defeat Ed Koch, they would rather lose with a fl man, than win with an Hispanic.

		Herman Badillo is Rudy Giuliani without the 20 tons of baggage. He’s not vindictive, petty, mean-spirited or schizophrenic.
		Badillo, the one candidate with a truly inspiring immigrant’s story to tell–orphaned in Caguas at five, arriving in New York at 11 speaking only Spanish, overcoming numerous obstacles to become the United States’ first Puerto Rican congressman–can be expected to handle inevitable racial flare-ups with conviction but also compassion.
		Badillo’s hope is that committed Republicans–the kind who actually turn out for primaries–will ignore the garish Bloomberg campaign and cast their votes for the one man in this mayor’s race who is qualified to build on Giuliani’s successes while eliminating the harsh rhetoric that’s tarnished the Mayor’s tenure.

	NEW YORK POST: EDITORIAL
		Badillo's opponents have shrilly attacked this very modest reform, wailing that minority students will somehow be victimized by the existence of even very low basic standards of literacy and numeracy.
		So Herman Badillo knows just how offensive it is to imply that immigrants, minorities and poor people who want to go to CUNY are incapable of performing at college levels.
		But thanks to Herman Badillo and his fellow trustees, this is the beginning of the end of a disastrous CUNY regime that gives public education a bad name.

		Herman Badillo was New York's first Puerto Rican political star.
		Herman Badillo, former New York City Commissioner of Housing Relocation, Bronx Borough President and Congressman, current chairman of the City University of New York and perennial candidate for mayor, is one of those rare figures in public life with a genuine penchant for the harsh truth.
