The entrenched racism of our city and state are not being debated here, neither are the strategies toward education reform. So, Anonymous' frantic posts make for a clunky and conspicuous shield for the actual topic at hand: Lena Taylor's integrity and record as a public official. Let's not kid ourselves, every politician will barter away bits of their conscience in order to the play the game. The question is which bits, how big and to what end? I've read a number of threads about Taylor this morning. I'm not a constituent but I've been observant of her public persona. I appreciate the fact-based elements of this discussion. The racial diatribe, however, --and I'm an African American woman who will gobble up brilliant racial diatribe-- is irrelevant here. Defend her, Anonymous, please. You're the first voice in more than a half dozen websites to try and do so. Notice I said "try." Your tangential ranting here only proves that you don't like what's been said; I'd be curious to read something that suggests an alternate TRUTH.Dasha Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331017308285979598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-65701989527568825042013-03-19T10:45:08.712-05:002013-03-19T10:45:08.712-05:00Great!Great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-55788831649794952292013-03-18T23:10:13.913-05:002013-03-18T23:10:13.913-05:00Can anyone understand what old jibberjabber here i...Can anyone understand what old jibberjabber here is saying?capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-78922633901841629332013-03-18T23:09:28.482-05:002013-03-18T23:09:28.482-05:00There are some already looking at doing just that....There are some already looking at doing just that.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-76545049784608184522013-03-18T23:00:52.000-05:002013-03-18T23:00:52.000-05:00No one ran against her.

Claiming to represent her district, she support voucher schools instead of support adequate funding for MPS which educates the vast majority of the children in this city. Voucher schools are an excuse for underfunding the education of all poor and minority kids. They are an excuse for turning public schools into another pile of money for those who push private for profit schools. Why should private corporations (run by people like Deborah McGriff, wife of Howard Fuller) profit from providing an even worse education for our kids than they get in the public schools?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-86935750276882491712013-03-16T18:58:17.968-05:002013-03-16T18:58:17.968-05:00I know.
