Hold education bureaucracy accountable, or lose your right to do it

Laurie Rogers:

"Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue."-- Ichabod Crane, in the 1999 film version of "Legend of Sleepy Hollow"
"If you're going through hell, keep going."-Walt Disney

Those who still think America's public schools are focused on academics are behind the times. Money, control and influence are the priorities now. You can tell because of the battle being fought behind the scenes in our school districts over open government.

Citizens who want to know what government schools are doing with our dollars and children are finding that many in leadership don't want us to know. As we push for information, they're pushing back. This struggle is taking place earnestly - even fiercely. It's also happening quietly, largely because the media aren't much help. (Many of those whose job is to inform the public have become sycophantic defenders of the government and aggressive attackers of the people.)
