Thank you, Rose -- it was a pretty discouraging day for those of us working 
on the bond campaign, and I despair at what the D-N considers fair coverage. 
  I also wrote a guest editorial and my husband, Jeff, wrote a letter.  
Let's hope they get printed.

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.
