Marty Esquivel's real motive is in question.

APS school board member, Marty Esquivel is concerned by
the behavior that he has witnessed at APS athletic events.
He is justifiably concerned.

So he has written himself a set of rules to be enforced upon
students and parents.

Every behavior that is prohibited or expected as a result of
his rules, is already prohibited and expected under the
existing student standards of conduct.

If adult visitors were simply told, you are expected to set
an example for your children; if they were simply told,
you are expected to be role models of the student standard
of conduct, every behavior that Marty Esquivel says he
wants to prohibit or encourage, would be prohibited or
encouraged.

The only difference is, under his plan, no one is required to be
honest.

When an official asks a fan, child or adult, did you throw
that plastic bottle at a player?

neither the adult nor the child has to answer candidly,
forthrightly and honestly.

Marty Esquivel cannot afford to bring attention to the
existing student standard of conduct because he cannot
afford to bring attention to the Pillar of Trustworthiness
and the obligation he shares with the rest of the leadership
of the APS to model and promote honesty.

He has invented a new set of rules in order that when you
ask him a legitimate question about the public interest,
he will not be accountable to any standard of conduct which
requires him to answer candidly, forthrightly and honestly.

He will not allow himself to be held honestly accountable as
a role model of the student standard of conduct,
not even for the measly few hours a day that he enforces
that standard upon 89,000 of our sons and daughters.
