Former Wake school board members endorse candidates

While the State House election is next year, I would like to respond for one reason. Rosa Gill has decided to interject herself into our local non-partisan school board elections.

I would like to ask Rep. Rosa Gill-Democrat one question, “If you were doing such a great job as Wake County School Board Chairperson, and really cared for the children, why did you quit to take Dan Blue’s seat in the NC Legislature”?


My response:
I sense a little arrogance in the letter sent to the paper by the status quo former school board members. It says that they are all knowing and we neighbors are imbeciles.

I pay taxes so I have the right to ask for change. Excluding parents from the process and shipping their children across the county is wrong. The parents have as much at stake as anyone here. With the horrible graduation rates, the parents have had to pick up the slack from a HUGE and encumbered education district.

These letter writers are the same ones that accused Republicans of being status quo while they voted for what they thought was change. I turn it around and say that these people want to continue the failure of our children. They are fighting against positive real change with everything in their arsenals. Hypocrites maybe but status quo for sure.
