If Zsombor Peter is to be believed;

the Journal's failure to investigate and report upon the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS;

does not rest on my inability to prove my case;

but in my inability to convince Zsombor Peter that the story
is newsworthy.

An issue of this magnitude will not be brought to the attention of stakeholders because of a young reporter who fails to grasp the importance of character and courage, and honor;

and of the need for role models of those character traits
in the leadership of the APS.

"If we want our children to possess the traits of character we most admire, we need to teach them what those traits are and why they deserve both admiration and allegiance. Children must learn to identify the forms and content of those traits."
— William J. Bennett, author and former U.S. Secretary of Education (b. 1943)

"The formation of character in young people is educationally a different task from and a prior task to, the discussion of the great, difficult ethical controversies of the day."
— William J. Bennett, author and former U.S. Secretary of Education (b. 1943)

that he does not want to be copied; so Kent Walz instead.)
