Neither the APS School Board nor the Journal will respond

Allegations have been made.

It has been alleged that

1. there is a standards and accountability crisis in the leadership of the APS, that
2. the leadership of the APS is covering up that crisis, and further that
3. the Journal is at best complacent about their cover up, or is part of it.

To date; neither the board nor the Journal has responded with anything more than silence; like they didn’t heard the allegations.


In similar situations; credible allegations made and some sort of response unavoidable, there is a standard response.

“The allegation is baseless and I will not dignify, legitimize, validate, or … the allegation by responding to it.”

Neither the APS school board nor the Journal, has offered that response or any other because the allegations are so obviously not baseless.  The evidence is as overwhelming as it is incontrovertible.

So they are stonewalling; they have no other choice because

The only defense of an indefensible position is to hide it.

That, or respond to legitimate questions about the public interests and their public service candidly, forthrightly and honestly.
