This morning looking over on the local liberal playground (I linked it here for ya, Randy) Somebody linked to a Facebook comment that Caren Karson, three term School Board Member (what about term limits?) posted. Here it is,
When Karson starts spinning that is an indication that the smoke is turning into a three alarm blaze. This week, I have been accused (privately, by friends) of being a McIntyre defender. I know from first hand account how bad the last appointed Superintendent was, (not the Interim Roy Mullins) so McIntyre can’t be worse, in my opinion. However, I haven’t been a board member and am not on the inside of the schools anymore. But still the CQL days were horrible, in give years he still hadn’t made it to very school. McIntyre has been to every school at least once a year, if not more.
“I know from first hand account how bad the last appointed Superintendent was, (not the Interim Roy Mullins) so McIntyre can’t be worse, in my opinion.”
Can be and is, just not in the same way. What good does it do to visit the schools if the man refuses to listen?
I’ll go a step further – As long as McIntyre’s here we refuse to vote for Haslam. He’s responsible for this fraud on the students and citizens of Knox County, and each further revelation counts against him as well. He can run all the ads he wants about how he’s helped further education, but this isn’t help.
