Re: [LincolnTalk] Responding to this morning’s dialogue about the MS principal search committee

To All, Not sure how asking about having equal representation at the table for our kids education is considered in any way racist. I think that those with a personal investment in their child's education need to have a voice, not sure if the group specified represents all of our community and

I think it's fair to assume that, as parents, we're all invested in our children. But I also firmly believe we need a plurality of views, because we all have valid, complementary, interests. I agree with what others have said, it is misguided to think one single voice speaks for the whole
