DeKalb school board has forfeited right to office
Two rules of good governance:
Rule No. 1) It is never a good idea to let unelected people sit in judgment of and even remove officials who have been put into public office by the vote of the people. The practice contradicts the entire concept of self-government and undermines accountability. If voters elect bad officials, they ought to live with the consequences of doing so.
Rule No. 2) In case of a true emergency, Rule No. 1 can and must be broken.
The DeKalb County School Board is the perfect case study of why Rule No. 2 exists. The board and the district that it is supposed to oversee are not merely dysfunctional; they have been dysfunctional for years. Superintendents have come and gone, often walking away with nice payoffs and in one case with a corruption indictment. Studies and audits have been authorized, conducted and then buried. Pledges have been made that this time, things will finally change, and time and again the change has been for the worse.
Millions of dollars in taxpayer money have been wasted. Precious years have been wasted. More important, tens of thousands of students have passed through a school system that did not treat their education as its top priority. There is too little sign that is changing.
Quite the contrary. Since December, when the DeKalb school system was notified that its repeated misbehavior had put its accreditation in danger, board members have made it more clear than ever that their top priority is maintaining their own power and authority. They have hired outside legal counsel, at considerable taxpayer expense, to protect their own jobs. They have filed state and federal lawsuits, again at considerable expense, challenging the state’s right to remove them.
Had they shown similar initiative and energy in fixing the district’s problems, they would not find themselves in this situation.
In another step to deflect criticism, the board has hired former state legislator and labor commissioner Michael Thurmond to serve as its interim superintendent. Thurmond is a good man and is generally well respected by both Republicans and Democrats. By nature and experience, he is well-suited to bridge the geographic, racial and economic divides that make DeKalb such a complicated place to govern.
In a marathon meeting of the state Board of Education on Thursday, Thurmond committed himself to changing the district’s direction and leadership.
“This is the job of a lifetime,” he said to the state board, telling them that he would not have been lured out of his private law practice by anything less than than the opportunity to solve a major crisis.
Thurmond also vouched strongly for the current DeKalb board’s willingness to help him. The problem is, as an employee of the DeKalb board, he cannot fix the board. His own competence, reputation and experience have no real relevance to the board’s fate. Furthermore, it is unfair and inappropriate for the board to use Thurmond as a mouthpiece to plead publicly on their behalf. His job as interim superintendent is to improve the education being offered to DeKalb students, not to preserve the jobs of the board members who hired him.
Last night, the state board voted unanimously to recommend removal of most of the DeKalb board. Sadly, the district’s issues are too profound to be solved by that step alone. But if Gov. Nathan Deal ends up following that recommendation, and if the courts decide that he has the authority to do so, progress can begin.

“Never said that, Paulie. Law is the law whether it sucks or not.”‘
Well of course you didn’t silly. You never, ever answered the question, which was, after you said it was just fine corporations paid zero federal income taxes and got additional taxpayer support on billions in profits because they obeyed the law, shouldn’t have to pay one bit more than the law required,
I asked if you thought it was also just fine that the 47%, people earning lower to mid-lower wages, also paid no federal income tax because they obeyed the law and shouldn’t have to pay one bit more than the law required.
But you’ve been ducking a direct answer for several days now.
You’ve even used the words of another blogger in avoiding an answer, going off on the tax code and Romney. You guys must listen to the same radio bloviators.
So, you finally going to answer the question?

Many of you “African-Americans” have such a low self esteem that you have to reach far back in time and theorize that the ancient Egyptians were “black”. Even though there is no credible evidence for this, you cling to psudeo-science to make this riduculous claim.
This is pitiful. If you want any pride in yourselves, make something out of your own lives. Reaching far back into time with dubious claims only make you look childish.

Life is life and death is death. Trying to put mini labels on it is no different than trying to label turds. Whether they have corn or not, it’s still a turd.
I don’t need to turn in anything as you are not my parent, supervisor, or boss. You don’t own the definition or rights to decide what I can or can’t do, but thanks for your awful attempt at whatever you were trying to do.

Jay’s willing to tell the truth about the small fry in this fiasco-Eugene Walker and the rest of Clown Central.
Is he willing to tell the truth about the big fish in the cesspool, Markie Mark Elgart, and SACS and their actions, actions that would make Walker and Elgart look like kindred spirits and decidedly not on the opposite ends of the ethics spectrum?

“Many of you “African-Americans” have such a low self esteem….This is pitiful. If you want any pride in yourselves, make something out of your own lives.”
…AND WHEN YOU DO, they resent you and call you arrogant, uppity, “racist”, accuse you of having a “chip on your shoulder” and all the other garbage. Very telling about a person who says B-S like that. This is exactly why I operate un-apologetically on a K.M.A. principle with those type of people.

You are so pathetically predictable. When you back yourself into a corner you post some variation if the blogger’s name and say “I already answered.”. But you’re never able to show where. And you’re not even embarrassed by your lack of performance.

“I am a Black man

That black guy,
My automatic stereotype of you is that if you’re from New Jersey then you’re an aggressive driver. Driving in Jersey is a whole lot different mentality from driving down here- or so I’ve been told by several Jersey friends anyway.

The Dekalb County Board of Education members are elected officials !!!
Elected officials have constitutional rights and deserve due process. They have the right to seek redress in the courts if suspended.
Removal of duly elected officials is a very sensitive issue that may have to be decided by the Supreme Courts of the United States.
