DEAR SCHOOL BOARD
In regard to Prop O and Prop H, I don’t think you’re looking at—or sharing—the bigger picture with our community.
When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Moms come to the microphone talking about wanting great schools and resources for their kids. What they often don’t realize is that if we keep borrowing more money and stretching out the debt, those same children will not be able to afford to live here when they grow up.
We should be building a stable future for them, not a mountain of debt they will have to carry. So I ask: are you thinking only about the here and now, or are you actually planning for the future of the next generation? That question should always be part of your plan and your legacy as a board member.
Second, I will continue to shine a light on teachers and staff who think it is appropriate to promote or discuss sexual orientation with students, or to make age-inappropriate books available to them.
That is not bullying!
Those conversations, and materials belong with parents. Families have the right to know what exists in the classroom, the library, and the school. Books need clear and reasonable ratings, and parents need an easy way to opt out of materials that carry those ratings.
If you and those teachers do not want this exposed, that is a transparency problem.
Parents have every right to know what is happening in our schools. If you disagree with that, it looks like you are hiding something.
Last, the remark about “loving my neighbor.” I do love my neighbors. Having a different political viewpoint does not make me unkind.
The truth is they (actually just the women) stopped waving at me once they learned where I stand—and I already knew how they voted. So please don’t pretend you are giving me a lesson.
Sincerely,
Concerned parent and tax payer
