[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes you think that whoever replaces these people in this thankless job will somehow be better?[/quote]

Soon after schools reopened I was approached about running for school board by someone connected with the local democratic party. I know why they approached me and since this is an anonymous forum I'll skip being humble and say that I would make a good candidate based on a number factors. I didn't consider it for a second, I didn't even go through the exercise of thinking it over. Watching how the current school board members and their families are and have been treated by the larger community, regardless of what I think about their politics or policies, makes running the last thing I would ever consider doing. Which is sad, because I genuinely believe that serving in public office at the most local level is something that I would be proud to do and do well. But I will not put myself or my family through the nightmare of the personal attacks I have seen over the last few years. If we want qualified people to run for office to truly serve our students with the best of intentions, then we all need to show a hell of a lot more respect for those people as human beings.

I can't respect a guy that swears on those 5 books. My kid is seriously disturbed by what he read in "Homegoing." It is being used as a text this quarter by a teacher. The majority of these kids have never even kissed someone, and now they have to read very explicit sex scenes. I don't even care if these books are in the school library, but kids shouldn't be forced to read them.[/quote]
