The Albuquerque Journal's half truth, is a whole lie.

The Journal editors did their part to convince voters to support the upcoming bond issues and mill levy, link.

They chose to not tell the half of the truth which might lead voters to deny further financial support of the current leadership of the APS.

They chose deliberately and steadfastly to not investigate and report upon the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS. They steadfastly refuse to investigate and report upon;

  • evidence of felony criminal misconduct involving APS senior administrators, link, which still has not been surrendered to the DA's Office for prosecution.
  • their denial of due process for well over one hundred APS whistleblower complaints.
  • their refusal to accept accountability as role models of the APS Student Standards of Conduct.
  • their refusal to restore the role modeling clause to their code of conduct; "In no case shall the standard of conduct for adults, be lower than the standard for students."
  • their refusal to allow independent review of administrative and executive standards and accountability.
  • School Board Member Paula Maes declaration that she will "never agree to any audit" that individually identifies APS senior administrators or board members.
  • the squandering of the public trust and treasure at 6400 Uptown Blvd; the needless board room, the decision to not rent office space in the building to cover costs, as promised.
The Journal has a responsibility to fully inform voters before they vote. Instead, they have abandoned their obligation to voters by giving them only half of the truth.

And, a half truth is a whole lie. Yiddish proverb
