you be the judge.
after months of stonewalling rep wilson, beth everitt has finally "come clean" with congresswoman wilson.
I had written to rep. wilson to ask her to help with the ethics and accountability crisis in the leadership of the aps.
I had told her that the leadership of the aps had repeatedly refused to hold themselves accountable to the student standard of conduct. that they had simply renounced their responsibilities as role models for 98,000 of our sons and daughters.
when ask by rep wilson if it was true that she and the board had repeatedly renounced the student standard of conduct as their own, if they had indeed renounced the pillars of character counts as their own standard of conduct; beth everitt's answer was;
"...it is Mr. MacQuigg's view that individual members of the aps board of education and the aps board as a whole, do not properly serve as good role models of character counts. the individual Board members disagree with Mr.MacQuigg's assessment of their behavior."
it is exactly the same unethical behavior everitt demonstrated when she was asked if she had really spent $80,000 on furniture for the school board.
she replied, "board members currently occupy small offices and are using borrowed furniture."
Were it used in character counts training for students, beth everitt's behavior in these two situations would serve as clear examples of how people can intend to lie even though they are telling the truth.
aps students are taught that this kind of "truth telling', spinning the truth in order to deliberately deceive, is lying.
Robert Fulghum observed that,
we should not worry so much that our children are not listening to us, as we should be worried that they are always watching us.
is beth everitt teaching aps students how to lie?
