According to the Huntsville City School superintendent, the school board, the Mayor, the City Council and some of the richest people in the world, via the news media, birds are singing, flowers are blooming and everyone is singing Kumbaya in perfect harmony in regard to the present state of the public school district. district.
Just "tune out" the shrieking harpies sounding the five-alarm fire alarm.
Don't listen to concerned, frustrated, parents.
Don't listen to angry, longtime, certified, educators.
Don't listen to concerned, committed, Bloggers.
The board and the political elite are going to be highly resistant to dumping a superintendent they just hired because in all honesty it would put Huntsville in a difficult position PR-wise.
So now we know it's all about Public Relations, projecting the false narrative the Huntsville City Schools are on their way to back to the status they once enjoyed as the best in the state.
It's not about providing students with equal access to a quality education.
And that's a crying shame.
"I dare to imagine a country where every child I hold in my hands, are all God's children, regardless of the color of their skin, regardless of whether they're boy or girl, regardless of religion, regardless of rich or poor, that every child I hold in my hands, will have the same chance to reach her full potential or his full potential. That is the goodness of our country. That is the essence of the American dream." ~Senator Paul Wellstone
