He did sit on a school board and he did participate in "listening sessions." That's all he has done.<BR/><BR/>And I would disagree and say a majority of Idahoans don't favor using tax dollars to fund private schools. When voters hear/read "choice" they think of charter and magnet schools...choice involves more than those options.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171427857308042830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677418.post-1163775782790165422006-11-17T08:03:00.000-07:002006-11-17T08:03:00.000-07:00What happened?

But then! when Lauren writes...<BR/><BR/><I>I'm pretty sure Bush's playbook (which happens to be a carbon copy of Rove's play book) reads something like: Smear the guy with as much dirt as you can dig up- or make up for that matter- until you have successfully distracted the public from the real issues. Don't believe me?

Listen sweetheart, maybe before you march in here and try to bring everyone else up to your level you should figure out exactly whether or not lying and ridiculing people is good or bad, and <I>then</I> come teach us what you've learned because obviously we're not there yet.

While I agree that Luna does not have the impressive resume that Jana Jones does, to say that he has no background in education is blatantly false. And your other crutch, that he favors "choice" in education? I hate to be blunt, but tough luck. The majority of Idahoans who care enough about education to go out and vote agree with him and his position on vouchers and private school. Not you. That's life. <BR/><BR/>Besmirching the man's record and experience only tarnshishes you. What's incredibly ironic is that you should be taking a page from Bush's playbook: being gracious and accepting of Luna's victory and pledging to fight hard over the next several years to come back stronger and win. But you don't. Instead you whine and complain about how your guy (or gal, in this instance) didn't win. Again, tough luck. Take it on the chin, pick yourself back up and fight harder.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I think you have a lot to learn about politics. I think you have a lot to learn about public debate and about examining issues - and candidates - fairly. You rely on innuendo, distortion of fact, hyperbole and personal attacks to mask the fact that, when all is said and done, you can't form a rational argument to support many of your beliefs.<BR/><BR/>In other words, it's time to grow up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677418.post-1163192376089260932006-11-10T13:59:00.000-07:002006-11-10T13:59:00.000-07:00He has no background in education, so his ignoranc...He has no background in education, so his ignorance and stupidity for one. His love of vouchers and funding private schools with my tax dollars for another reason. Wanting to run public schools like a business-NOT GOOD. No background in public administration for another. The fact that a majority of teachers, administrators and State Department of Education employees were opposed to his candidacy should be eye opening. <BR/><BR/>One of the primary duties of a Superintendent is that of policy making and advocating for public schools. It is incredibly difficult to properly advocate for something you have shown very little knowledge about. It is also difficult to create and implement policy when you favor "choice" in schools, which is AKA privatizing education. We aren't talking about charter and magnet schools, we are talking about privatization.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18171427857308042830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677418.post-1163183171397700962006-11-10T11:26:00.000-07:002006-11-10T11:26:00.000-07:00Jessica,I'm interested in how Tom Luna will single...Jessica,<BR/><BR/>I'm interested in how Tom Luna will single handedly destroy public education in Idaho.
