KRQE, KOAT, KOB TV and the Journal Say “No” to Scandal Coverage

Local news outlets were asked whether they were willing to investigate and report upon the ethics, standards, accountability and role modeling scandal in the leadership of the APS.  My email to them read;

I write to you wondering if you are willing to report, given sufficient incontrovertible proof, that

· the APS Board of Education has reneged on a still binding school board resolution by

· lowering student standards of conduct, and because they are the district’s senior-most role models of student standards of conduct,

· lowering their own standards of conduct.

· Further that they accomplished this by deleting from the existing standards of conduct, the enabling document and definitions; a 2021 word long nationally recognized, accepted and respected code of ethical conduct called “the Pillars of Character Counts!”

Yes or no, please

To the extent that when the question is;

are you willing to tell the truth?

any answer except “yes” means “no”, their answer is no; witness the absence of one single investigation or report upon the scandal, even to report that there isn’t one.
