"You can't just tell the truth; you never know how someone might want to use it."

Former APS Superintendent, and West Point graduate,
Peter Horoscak.


In response to my argument that teachers (and by extension,
all stakeholders)
have a right to know the truth about what
is going on in their schools.

By the same logic, in today's APS,

Brad Winter does not have to tell stakeholders the truth
about spending at 6400 Uptown Blvd.

because you never know how someone might want to use it.




Why would APS Superintendent Peter Horoscak speak so
forthrightly about such an indefensible position?

Because that is what happens when these people find
themselves in a position where they cannot get away with
a lie, and they cannot avoid having to respond to
a legitimate question.

They get all flustered and sometimes actually give a candid,
forthright and honest answer.

Offered in support of my argument that APS stakeholders
deserve a town hall meeting.

How can senior public servants simply refuse to show up at
a place where senior APS administrators and board members
cannot get away with a lie, and they cannot avoid having to
answer legitimate questions about their public service?


What does KOB TV have to gain by keeping the issue of a
APS town hall meeting secret from their viewers?

and KRQE?

and KOAT?

and KKOB?

and of course, Zsombor Peter and the Journal?



cc upon posting to all named; except
Zsombor Peter who has indicated that he has no interest in reading even another of my "silly" posts.

Ok, so no one reads old philosophy books about shadows and people chained up watching shadows and not realizing 3d land is out there. And no one reads the Emperor's New Clthes to kids anymore either, but I KNOW everyone saw teh darn Matrix series.

People are ot even getting to the point of the choice of taking the blue or the red pill. They are stuck and can't see the dynamic, and we were the same people before we had our own "misunderstandings" I like to call it so I don't get all ballistic, with employers and authority that seems to not know an ethic, so in hate of the unknown they stomp on anything that reeks of Character or Accountability - smells of TREASON to them.

And rightly so. Agent Smith is the exception, the one unplugged agen, the yang right inside Neo's yin. Yeah, I was rooting for Smith, so what?

But the system that we admire as servants of it, it being the source of our breead and shelter, we tend toguard a tad zealously. As zealously as we outside the club fight to bring down their treehouse.

'Nuff Said, over and out, 10-7, EOM.
