HOLD ‘EM HOSTAGE
A Milwaukee-area school board member sends her kid to a charter school in another district. Big Deal, huh? Well, apparently it is in Milwaukee. The union is “distressed” and their lap dogs, the PTA, even more so.
Days’ school choice sends a message that Racine Unified schools are “not good enough,” said Barb Larrabee, co-president of Park High School’s PTA.
Larrabee thinks that Racine Unified’s board members should be required to send their children to the district’s schools.
“I just think that any School Board member that’s on the board should believe in the school system and should have their children in the public schools,” Larrabee said.
This is a political problem. If the PTA/WEA are so upset, figure out a way to vote her out of office.

Absolutely right. It probably didn’t bother them that Chelsea Clinton (along with almost every other congressman’s children) didn’t go to public school. But wait, we can’t stop there… What if the school board member doesn’t have children? Should they be interrogated Supreme Court Justice-style to determine “if” they had children, where they would be educated? |
