everybody lies

For the purposes of the discussion, lying is;

• thinking about what you are saying or writing,
• admitting that the words and/or their order would cause someone to believe as truth, something that isn't true at all and then
• writing or saying it anyway.

Richard Romero, looked into our eyes and said, he would step up as a role model of the APS Student Standards of Conduct.





Nobody else has.



Not on the School Board, and












not in the senior administration.











Every generation expects the next generation to be the first generation to step up to honest accountability to meaningful standards of conduct and competence.

Standards of conduct, higher than the law. Standards of conduct that specifically and explicitly require honest accountability to meaningful standards of conduct and competence.

Impartial accountability, principled and powerful enough to hold even the most powerful accountable, even against their will.

Standards of conduct that require the telling of the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth.


Richard Romero should be running away with this election.
He stepped up as a role model and now he is keeping it secret.
I don't get it.

No one wants to pick a side on the issue of the APS student standards of conduct.

No one wants to say or write or stand, on the words or the principles of the Pillars of Character Counts.

Talk about an elephant in the room.

Why even bother with it?

Why don't we just stop telling our kids about
George Washington and the cherry tree?

The truth is, the best thing young George could have done was
to hire Sam Bregman.


You pick a side when you don't pick a side.

Worse, you teach a child what it looks like
to not pick a side.

“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality” Dante Alighieri
