My political soapbox!

I've never been one to get thoroughly involved in a political topic or to push an agenda. Don't get me wrong; I study out who to vote for and I make sure and vote, but I've never had a sign in my yard or passed out flyer's for a candidate. But something has gotten to me lately and I can't keep quiet!

There are rumors that our school board and superintendent are bullying teachers and staff into loyalty and even early retirement or firing in some instances. Maybe it's because I've worked in the school system for so many years. Maybe it's because I've become one of those vocal special ed moms. I don't know but I am going to see this to the end.

I attended, and even spoke at last night's board meeting. It was a very emotional meeting, both for and against the board and superintendent. I am going to hold a 'town meeting' and have some speakers tell their side of the story. I have been in contact with a couple of reporters and may have a radio show allow some people on their morning show with examples of what is happening. I have made and distributed flyer's! I'm going crazy!!!

It's not like I have time for this. Believe me. There's a lot of things I could and should be doing. But at the same time I feel very strongly that this should not be happening. I will post more, when and if there is anything to post about it.

Let's just pray that our children will not get the worst part of this.
