More than the law requires, and less than the law allows

Students in the APS are taught that their character depends
on their willingness to do more than the law requires, and
less than the law allows.

A case in point; the surrender of public records.

Doing more than the law requires, a school district that immediately posts records requests, and responses, on the internet for everyone to see, and free of charge.

The leadership of the APS, by their record, cannot demonstrate
that they surrender documents at all.

The law "allows" redaction of public records for good and ethical reasons.

The leadership of the APS redacts entire bodies of evidence, because the law "allows" them to; albeit only by using "legal" technicalities, loopholes and weaselry.


The standard of conduct that Winston Brooks enforces upon students, requires him to surrender an ethically redacted truth about the public corruption and criminal conspiracy in the leadership of the APS. link

Instead, he will join an ongoing conspiracy to hide the truth.


He will teach students, by his personal example,
to hide as much truth as the law allows.


Is that really the lesson we want to impart on the next generation of public servants?
