[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this thread even still here?  This recall petition actually harms the entire district because it requires resources to fight against it - resources that would otherwise be spent helping our schools.[/quote]

hahahaha - like devoting resources towards a frivolous law suit against the Governor's anti-mask-mandate?  Like redirecting time/resources to renaming schools instead of improving them?  Like wasting time adjusting a TJ admissions process that isnt broken?  Like wasting 2 years to implement a boundary change that removed a grand total of around/about 140 kids over three years that does nothing to reduce capacity at MHS?  Like taking time and resources to advocate for books with drawings of s3x acts to be kept in our school libraries?  Like pushing the ideal that all black people are victims and white oppressors?  Like paying Kendi $20,000 to pass his racist messages to teachers?

Helping our schools?  That is what we want our SB members to START doing.  Start helping our schools.  Stop wasting time and resources that would otherwise be spent helping our schools.

Glad we agree![/quote]

Honestly, what do you expect the school board members to do to "help schools"? Should they go spend their time tutoring struggling kids? I'm not defending them as much as I'm aware that their role is to work on policy. Teachers help schools. Volunteers help schools. Parents help schools. School board members are mostly useless and I don't expect them to help schools.[/quote]

We are aware progressives such as yourself are fatalistic, believing problems can't actually be solved and the only useful thing to do is make token gestures for equity. School boards can absolutely affect how educational money is spent and whether or not education funds are actually used to better educate children. I think it's far more important to have the ability to recall a nutcase on a local school board rather than statewide positions such as governor. As it is now our elected school board members are free to post racist, bigoted remarks on Twitter as well as mismanage educational funding with no repercussions.[/quote]

Well said.[/quote]
