Yes, I follow the blog closely since stumbling across it. While I understand (and admit to admiring) your stance on most issues I am also patiently awaiting the time when the school district collapses from within. Vouchers will win out if the moms and dads step up. Hell, even Disney cleans house!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089922.post-1158082565379706892006-09-12T10:36:00.001-07:002006-09-12T10:36:00.001-07:00Standing up for social justice as Bart did is high...Standing up for social justice as Bart did is higher politics. I am a one-trick pony myself for women's rights. You are, however, right from one view point. But Bart knew he never had a prayer, so he did what he thought was most important: he stood up for the gay kids he had been trying to get help for during years of labor while the Board looked the other way for fear they would lose a few bigots' votes. He forced all the candidates to support getting teacher training in bullying gay kids. I tried to help in this and once actually chased that ninny Lennard down a hall to catch him and extract a pledge that he would do something. He said he would. He lied as usual. <BR/><BR/>Candy Olson, who holds the seat now, is a member with no redeeming features. She just wants to sit on the Board and will do anything to achieve that goal. She cooperates with all the unlovely impulses of the administration, including hiring the marginally literate Elia as the superintendent after the $35,000 "nationwide search" and recently signing off on a featherbedding job for Jim Hamilton, the inhouse geezer lothario, one hears, because the back story says that Elia can't make decisions without him. Not one Board member spoke up against that abuse of taxpayers. <BR/><BR/>If you have followed my blog, you know what crooks these people are. They run the school system as a racket for their own benefit. The Board plays along. If it were a pencil factory, that would make not a whit of difference to the Board. Those who want to speak up are too timid. The Potted plants are all comfy with the arrangement.<BR/><BR/>I too have passed and not voted in an election recently. But in this one, I think you should have punched the button for Logan or Bart. Either Bart or that pompous but intelligent kid would have been an improvenment over Olson. Hell, Mickey Mouse would have been. leetwinkobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865056039680988073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089922.post-1158082562815446532006-09-12T10:36:00.000-07:002006-09-12T10:36:00.000-07:00Standing up for social justice as Bart did is high...Standing up for social justice as Bart did is higher politics.

This election I had a choice of an inexperienced 17-year-old kid, a candidate who wants to help gay kids when my taxes are being used so foolishly by the potted plants, and one of the potted plants. I was torn right up to the moment I saw the names on the screen. I waited, hoping for inspiration. It came. I passed and didn't vote for anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
