Two Decisions Will Be Made

In the very next little while, the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education will make two very important decisions.

They will decide who will be the next superintendent of the APS.

And they will decide whether or not, that superintendent will begin an administration that is honestly accountable for their conduct and competence.


Charlie Moore and Bill Slakey have written about their belief that the public should involve itself more assertively in politics.

Yet, neither will do anything to involve the public in a unique opportunity to institutionalize transparent accountability in public service. They stand in diametric opposition to any reasonable understanding of journalistic ethics and responsibilities.


How can they possibly explain that away?

And why don't they have to? Why don't they have to explain,
or defend, or even acknowledge the allegation that
they are covering up information of interest to voters?

Information about an ethics and accountability scandal
in the leadership of the APS.

Stonewalling is a privilege of membership
in the privileged class

How is this explained away,
except as a privilege of membership
in the privileged class?



A membership that also requires no explanation, defense,
or even acknowledgment.
