School board members endorse candidate

Remember the furor over the whole right to speech controversy over an unnamed Unified Board member a few months back? We all assumed it was Brian Dey who was taken to task for speaking his mind on blogs like these and conservative talk radio.

We never did find out who was in trouble, the RUSD board cleverly found a way to remove the disciplinary action from the agenda (Thanks Armin, Brian, Julie and Randy!!)

After months of keeping quiet, he is back in the news with his outspoken ways. Now he has brought friends - Brian Dey and fellow board member, Armin Clobes, just publicly announced their endorsement of gubernatorial candidate Mark Green over at RDW. Brian, we welcome you back with open arms and Armin, thanks for taking a stand for what you think is right for the students of this district!

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank them both for standing up for the candidate they believe in and providing the people with honest and intelligent reasons why they are supporting Green.

Some may say that non-partisan elected officials should not publicly endorse a partisan candidate, but I believe it is refreshing and completely relevant!

H/T to RDW

Rambo 101

I recently found out that the school district in Texas that was teaching the students to attack intruders have stopped the controversial training program. Now is a good time for reflection…

Is training middle-school and high school students to thwart an attack from a gun-toting lunatic a good idea or is this just about the dumbest idea since inventing spandex?

A Moral Dilemma?

Okay, I have a question and I am looking for some feedback…

Can a person be both pro-choice and oppose the death penalty? Don’t these beliefs contradict each other?

What do you think?
