Madison School Board Should "Learn from Fiasco"

Wisconsin State Journal Editorial:

After the Greek King Pyrrhus defeated the Romans in 279 B.C., he cut his celebration short.

Pyrrhus realized that the battle had been more costly to his army than it had been to the Romans. His response went something like this:

"One more such victory, and we are undone."

Those words should be haunting the Madison School Board today.

One more fiasco like last week's flip-flop on consolidating two elementary schools, and this board may be undone.

School Board member Johnny Winston Jr. said the board's reversal could be a win-win.

He was wrong-wrong.
