Editor:
 
Dale Courtney (Guest editorial April 11, 2005) neglected to mention his  most 
salient argument against the school bond levy.  Courtney is an  unabashed 
opponent and venomous critic of "government schools."   (Government schools is a 
phrase coined by the religious right to contrast public  education with their 
own private, bible-centered, educational model.)  
 
Dale wouldn't support the cost of re-painting a public school's  principal 
office.  He is disinterested in the conditions of buildings  which house the 
majority of Moscow's school age children.  Unlike  Logos School, Moscow's public 
schools support a broad range of special education  programs, welcome all  
students regardless of ability, teach science that  extends beyond Creationalism, 
 offer free access to drama programs and  other extracurricular activities, 
and hires  faculty members who  graduate from accredited universities,  have 
state recognized education  degrees, and hold actual teaching credentials.
 
I urge Dale, if he is really concerned about property tax issues, to turn  
his attention to notorious property tax dodgers in Moscow, for example, New  St. 
Andrews and Anselm House.  Unlike his current agenda, that  campaign would 
actually provide a useful community service.
