Hole in the Wall
Undoing AISD
RECEIVED Tue., Oct. 25, 2016
Dear Editor,
Thank you very much for endorsing the conservative candidate for At-Large Position 8 on the AISD school board ["Chronicle Endorsements," News, Oct. 21]. We look forward to making the lives of teachers and students more difficult.
You clearly didn’t do your homework. You’ve endorsed the candidate who favors weakening the influence of Education Austin within AISD, devaluing teachers and returning to one-year contracts, opposing equity for AISD students, and undoing public education and favoring charter schools. I’m sure Don Zimmerman and Dan Patrick were thrilled with your decision.
We have only the Chronicle to blame if the progressive candidate David Quintanilla loses. David is one of the most promising candidates to run for school board in years, and it will be a great loss for Austin not to have his input on education issues.
