How can you trust someone who stonewalls?

The question is, can you demonstrate that you are honestly accountable to any meaningful standard of conduct?

The Leadership of the Albuquerque Public Schools should be able to respond by saying, yes. As stewards of the public trust and treasure; they should have created a system that protects public interests from corruption and incompetence.

They have not. They cannot answer yes.

They cannot answer no.

They will not admit that they have failed to protect public interests from individual and systemic corruption and incompetence.

So they stonewall.

The Administration, the Board, and Modrall can get away with stonewalling because they are powerful. They are powerful only because they are the stewards of the people’s power. Our power is being used to dodge accountability for the corrupt and incompetent abuse of that very power. It is absurd.

So far, they’re getting away with it.
