Public education in this state was set up as a "safety net". The constitutional minimum is one little red schoolhouse per district (18 statewide). Attendance was optional by default. Yet
- veterans want it to build memorials
- union members want it to make jobs
- football fanatics want it to score touchdowns
- consultants and municipal bond underwriters want it to generate fees
- (Draft) Board members want it to make "statements"
- and on and on and on
The special interests should save your political activism for your private clubs or RJ Forums.
*Public* schools should do one thing and one thing only. Teach the 3R's. Let me know when CCSD figures out how to do that.
