It
Seems That the New Political Battlegrounds are the School Boards
Al Ritter
The new battleground is our schools and even though
most school board members are appointed rather than elected they seem to be
making the rules for students devoid of logic or even science.
The school boards seem to be reporting to State Officials
on actual real doctors and threatening to remove their state licenses if they
refuse to tow the official State line.
One
doctor has refused to tow that line and as a result he removes his posts in
48 hours in fear for repercussions.
Other people know that mask mandates have nothing to
do with “science” but only politics and they are fighting the school boards
that are mandating draconian measures that have no basis in actual science.
Some
state legislators are fighting against School board appointees who are
normally union teacher’s leaders, and want to force actual elections of board
member……….what a novel idea!
He said the following:
Our first meeting in
Harford County was a success.
Parents all over the
nation are standing up to oppose onerous curricula and mandates that are
hurting our children. Our initiative will create legislation to allow the
voters to decide. But we still need your help and input to make this effort a
success.
- The Superintendent is in charge
of the education of our children.
Shouldn’t you have a say who is chosen?
- The Superintendent controls 50%
of the County budget.
Shouldn’t you have a say who does the controlling?
- Superintendents are typically
members of the Teachers Union, Administration, or have been in the school
system for many years.
Shouldn’t we consider selecting someone outside the (broken) system?
- Salary and benefits of a
superintendent are negotiated in secret:
It should be publicly discussed/determined, perhaps by legislation, what these will be?
- The policy preferences and
educational ideas of candidates for superintendent are presently only
known to a selection committee.
Shouldn’t the public know this before hiring?
- Superintendent candidate pools
are usually nationwide.
Shouldn’t we be looking at someone familiar with our school system already?
The school system in
Baltimore and Harford Counties have not been answerable to students, parents
and taxpayers, so we need to hear from you on further crafting legislation to
have an elected County School Superintendent; who will be held accountable.
Meeting details are

Cub Hill Bible Presbyterian Church
2927 Cub Hill Road
Parkville, MD 21234
Things have gotten so out of control that some
School Board members in various states are quitting in fear of
repercussions and death threats because they no longer want to be part of the political
mandates and non-scientific demands of the government!
These are the people indoctrinating our children and we should have a
right to choose who they are!
