Letter: Plan thwarts open discussion

Tuesday, July 23, 2002 | 8:42 a.m.

Regarding the Sun's July 19 story, "School board's 'one voice' plan draws criticism":

As a former school board member in Northern California, I can state that the educrat-dominated National School Boards Association has been promoting various mutants of this plan for more than 20 years.

It's designed to make all the rubber stamps come down simultaneously and negates the purpose of electing individual school board members.

For once I find myself in agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union, because I've seen the private discussion periods of these programs used on any number of occasions to thwart open discussion.
