Others also demonize opponents

Beth Zurbuchen isn't the only pro-referenda advocate who cannot understand referenda opponents who support quality schools but will vote no to force the board and administration to consider better budgeting, management, and curriculum.

Bill Keys said, quoting a Cap Times article:

To school board member Bill Keys, "the people who have doubts about the referendum seem to belong to two camps."

One, he said, is composed of those who oppose additional school funding whenever the opportunity comes along. . . .

"These people are always against education," he contended. "That's their history, that's their life. They've made a career of being against education."

In the other camp are those, he said, who just don't want to engage in the complexities of the problem and study the real constraints that exist in school finance.
