As a public school parent in district 6 she may be very much concerned about issues important to the district. The question is--does she have the skills to effectively represent us? Or was she selected by the majority because they believed she would be a lap dog for the new majority? <br /><br />I also think it is perfectly legitimate to question how the selection was made. Agree very much with a poster somewhere who questioned Tom Tate's reason for supporting Stinson-Wesley: "because she wants to see all students soar". A nice thought but pretty hackneyed at this point. <br /><br />Sharon StarksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-6478170540305529582012-01-06T07:29:40.809-05:002012-01-06T07:29:40.809-05:00...the Grinch walks among you.......the Grinch walks among you....Wiley Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16966764080565903720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-32441148096327743842012-01-06T07:00:43.383-05:002012-01-06T07:00:43.383-05:00Anytime I see "Reverend" in front of som...Anytime I see "Reverend" in front of somebody's name I know to hold on to my wallet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-62356600065548846822012-01-06T03:51:59.644-05:002012-01-06T03:51:59.644-05:00Perhaps someday this Forum's resident Grinch w...Perhaps someday this Forum's resident Grinch will venture from his cave and join us.Pamela Grundynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020455191286536580.post-46336033050412894432012-01-06T01:04:01.819-05:002012-01-06T01:04:01.819-05:00Woo- hoo.

She had to know how opposed to her most in her district were. She did not respect the views and concerns of the district's families(remember her reference to suburbanites as "privileged" and only looking for convenience). Yet she continued to lobby for the position anyway. What kind of person would do a thing like that? (except a very political and manipulative one) And Erika still wanted to support her? <br /><br />We've had a lot of publicity over the past ten years about lack of community trust.
