Not much to say since you refuse to publicly post your position on any issues.

Here's you another chance to show your support of teacher unions, tenure, and your hate of merit pay raises for teachers. The Little Rock saga made it to the NYTimes today! Maybe John will post you a copy. nytimes.com Mr. Brooks came from Orlando, Fla., three years ago, an administrator and former principal with a reputation for toughness and improving intractable schools, and he was opposed from the beginning by Ms. Mitchell and the teachers’ union, whose leader immediately predicted he would fail. His fortunes went downhill when blacks achieved their historic majority on the board. Black parents remained largely silent at the board meeting. But several other black parents interviewed as they picked up their children at Dunbar Middle School were not following the board majority’s line. “He’s a real hands-on superintendent,” said Ray Webster, whose two small boys were jumping up and down in the back seat. Mr. Webster had met Mr. Brooks through the parent-teacher association. “He actually cares about the kids. He actually shows concern for the kids,” he said, but that is a view vehemently rejected by his critics.
