Darren White; A Higher Standard of Conduct

The lowest standard of acceptable conduct; the law,

the standard of conduct that draws the line
between acceptable conduct and
conduct so abhorrent as to warrant criminalization,
applies to everybody.

Some choose to believe that
there is a higher standard of conduct than "the law",
and that standard applies to public servants;
those who must be entrusted with the people's considerable
power and resources.

If there is such a thing,
as a higher standard of conduct for public servants,

then refusing to tell the truth
about the fate of the people's power and resources,

violates that standard.

Darren White, Kari Brandenburg, Paula Maes,
Beth Everitt
(she's still on the payroll) and Linda Sink

are senior public servants who refuse to tell the truth,
(as measured by any higher standard of conduct
such as the Pillars of Character Counts;
APS' Student Standard of Conduct.)
and they are violating their standard of conduct.

Is there a higher standard of conduct for public servants?

What difference does it make
if the standard is completely unenforceable?


They will get away with it.


Because the standards of conduct for journalists,
like Thomas J Lang, and Kent Walz,
and Phill Casaus, and Michelle Donaldson,
and Sue Stephens, and Thomas Pearl,
are every bit as unenforceable
as the standards of conduct for public servants.

... coincidently.
