It Is Perplexing; We Are Willing to Send Our Children To Iraq

and a million other places around the world;

to stand up for what we believe in.


They are expected to bleed and die,
in defense of what we believe in.

Their sacrifices underwrite our commitment to our beliefs.

At home, we have their backs.

And if their children are going to school in a system that disregards their interests, in favor of the interests of administrators and board members; they need someone to stand in their stead. They need someone to defend their interests, while they defend ours.

They need someone to go to a public forum and stand up for what they believe in for two minutes.

Two minutes. That is how long the leadership of the APS will allow anyone to petition their government by means of face to face intercourse.

It will follow a moment of silence for those APS graduates who have made the sacrifices that underwrite the existence of school boards at all.

It will be off the record.

Board members may or may not be paying attention, in their seats, or even in the room.

They will not answer questions;
period.

The broadcast version of the public record of the board meeting, will not include the public forum, anything you say, or any question you ask.

If you insist upon a response to a legitimate question, the broadcast record will not show you being removed from the meeting by members of a public funded, private police force that reports directly to; and only to; the axis of the superintendent, the board, and Modrall.

A Praetorian Guard in every sense.

Isn't this what those APS alumnae sacrificed to end?


I have personally, and on behalf of the leadership of the APS, done everything that I could to convince as many as 8,000 of my students, that they should;

"Stand up for what you believe in;
even if you are standing alone."

Never once believing that we would then let them


... stand alone.
