On the petition of government

One can understand how some politicians and public servants cannot make time to entertain the personal petition of even a small portion of interest holders; there is not enough time.  A clear front runner for second place solution to meeting with everybody, is meeting with people who can demonstrate that they have the same petition to deliver as some number of fellow interest holders.

The White House is offering an opportunity, link, for people to deliver their petition in exchange for a good faith response. All you have to do is prove that there are enough others who want to deliver the same petition.

Imagine local government offering the same.  Find a reasonable number of people seeking redress for essentially the same grievance and presto; you've earned a good faith response.

What is the point in having a Constitutionally protected human right to petition one's government, if the government has no obligation to at the very least, respond to the petition in good faith?

Which begs an interesting question; how many people would have to petition the leadership of the APS for an explanation, before they could be compelled to explain in words any student can understand,

why students expected to model honest accountability
to higher standards of conduct than the law, and
their senior-most role models are not.
