There is no ethical justification

…for removing the Public Forum from the Public Record. It serves no public interest. Were there any justification at all; you would have been told something more than “everybody else is doing it”.

We would not accept that excuse from a child; there is no reason to accept it from the senior role models for 98,ooo of our sons and daughters, or from the stewards of the public trust and treasure (a half a billion dollars a year), or from our public servants.

They’re getting away with it because you won’t do anything to stop them. You have to show up to stand up for what you believe in. There is no equivalent gesture. Nothing will do except for you to show up at a board meeting and

just say no.
