  Right now the West Chester school board is happy to maintain programs at levels comparable to 5 years ago. The aren't looking to improve. Improvements might mean more money either now or in the long run. That's why West Chester schools in general are falling behind all the other districts in the area. Exactly what happens when the board majority is all of the same mindset. Complacency. They don't have anyone to hold them accountable. Vote them out!

  Now we all know not to vote for the endorsed republican school board candidates. They did a great job pointing out who the Tea Party plants are. Are these people promised paid positions in exchange for serving time on school boards?

  I would say that he is the editor of this publication. Disrespectful and malicious comments should be deemed inappropriate. I hope you both get banned from this site. Your bullying offers no value or valid argument. You and your friend are probably the same person anyway. It's laughably brave while hiding behind a disguise.

  Pornography, really? I've read the book and would hardly call it that. This book is one of many choice for one class. The parents have to sign off and then purchase the book. Zengel has every right to voice her opinion, but it was completely out of line for her to call into question the integrity and character of committee - especially the student member. Ludwig is an extremist only concerned with pushing her far-right agenda forward. The school board made the right move by leaving curriculum development to the experts. And what what that 10 minute diatribe by Raleanu? I can't believe the president let that go on for so long. That was sheer lunacy.

  Reap what you sow. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Perhaps, you were the inspiration for Sean Carpenter's "Shot over the bow" essay. This is why both of you are going nowhere fast.

  Repetition doesn't make it truth. Especially considering the source. Can you find an instance anywhere in the State where it has happened?
  Teachers are PART of the PSER along with a lot of other state employees including legislators. The State needs to reform the pension system. Talk to Governor Corbett. The school boards can't do anything about it, except maybe send a letter to legislators, which I think WCASD did. It's not really fair to single out the teachers when they are part of a large group.

  I'm not a teacher. Not in a union and never was. I am educated, however, and capable of seeing other points of view. I can also understand that, like it or not, we need to operate within the system that is in place. Change needs to occur on the state level not local. You obviously choose to not educate yourself on what is going on in Pennsylvania or you simply don't understand how it works.

  Individual teachers cannot negotiate their own contracts. Teachers don't have to join the union but the do have to pay a fair share fee for having the union negotiate for them. It's how it is done in Pennsylvania. Go to Harrisburg and complain. You are barking up the wrong tree. You are doing nothing but wasting your time. If the teachers don't want to be in the union they can go to private or charter schools.

  Nothing, not even one poor teacher bound and chained by union thugs? I guess you can't really defend your defense of forced unionism. You, sir, are the only one trying to invoke a strike. I'd say better luck in your own district, but I see they are working hard to clean up the mess they made by electing you.

  Who are you Simon to pass judgement? It's really none of your business and the only people that support you are mentally unstable. I guess birds of a feather... It's surprising that absolutely no teachers want your help to free them from the union shackles. Oh wait, there is one (although you always try to make it look like there are more). Just like your lame organization. You would think you'd find something more constructive to do that argue with people online all day. Your cause is hogwash!
