Would be United States Congressman Pat Davis is on record, link, describing the Albuquerque Public Schools Role Model Policy as "vague, coded language".
The policy read; (before the board voted unanimously to strike it from their own code of conduct)
In no case shall the standards of conduct for an adult
be lower than the standards of conduct for students.At the time, I took the time to go to a city council meeting to challenge Davis to point to the vague and coded language and to vindicate his slander.
Instead, Davis sat stone-faced and mum; hiding behind a contrived inability of councilors to respond during a public forum, to legitimate questions about the public interests in city government.
Davis has not responded still.
More than a year later, he still
cannot justify his slander.
Still, he will not point to vagary.
Still he will not point the "coded"
language.
He won't because he can't.
He won't because he cannot summon the courage and the character he will would need to admit that the requirements of adult role models in the APS are neither vague nor coded. That, but a fraction of the courage and character he would need to actually be a role model of the standards of conduct expected from the nearly 90,000 of this community's sons and daughters in APS schools, by holding himself honestly accountable to those same higher standards.
And still, he thinks he's qualified for congress.
Considering some of those who sit there now,
perhaps he's not too far off.
