18 Column Inches In Support of "Support" Principals

You can believe me when I write how hard it is to get even one column inch of space in the Journal to write about legitimate issues in the APS.

This morning, the Journal gave almost twenty column inches to a one sided defense of the added layer of administrators called support principals/turn around coaches. (link)

I don't know Principal Judith K Martin-Tafoya,
from Adam's off ox. I have not been to Truman Middle School, and I don't know anyone on the teaching staff there.

Perhaps Martin-Tafoya is telling the truth; perhaps she is just working her way up the food chain in the good ole boys club that is the leadership of the APS. Perhaps she is just angling for her own office high up in the UAC.

We will never know, because the leadership of the Journal, perhaps Thomas J Lang himself, has decided that there will be no even handed reporting on the APS. There will be no impartial investigation and reporting. There will be only a disparate number of column inches spent making the leadership of the APS look competent and clean; and no column inches devoted to any charges of incompetence or corruption;

without regard for the truth.
