Kim Vesley of the Rio Rancho School district, their longtime flack and an old friend, is piling the bullshit deeper and deeper on the case of the school teacher fired because one of her students wrote something that another student didn't like.
But, first I digress. I played golf today out at Santa Ana and a young CNM student and former team golfer for that Rio Rancho school joined us and said that the teacher was one of the most popular and effective instructors in the school. He was really angry they had fired her. He said that she was a teacher who really taught the students how to think and be creative. He just kept gushing out compliments on her when I asked him what he thought about the situation. But, gosh, he was only a student. Right?
Now back to the bullshit factory. I had asked Kim Vesely for the biographies of the School Board Members. She said they didn't keep biographies of their elected officials. If they don't, they are incompetent. If they do and don't want to reveal them now then there might be something discoverable about them that would put them in a bad light. Whatever the reason, it is bullshit.
Just like the statement that Vesley sent out yesterday saying that the fired teacher used profanity and sexually explicit language in her classroom. OMG! I wonder if her high school students have never heard something like that!
I remember as a sophmore at St. Pius X here in Albuquerque that we were given reading assignments that included George Orwell's "1984". There was lots of sex in that book for those days. All the students were talking about it. But now fifty years later you can't even make a sexual reference in school? That indicates to me that fundamentalism is alive and well in that institution.
The media has gone silent on this in the last couple of days. So they might be on to something I am missing. Time will tell.
