[Vision2020] State of Idaho and NSA

Sun May 15 13:52:27 PDT 2005

No Wayne,

Your bigotry and hatred is too thick to see the
obvious. State Law defines accreditation and approval
as the same thing.  

NSA is not approved by the State Board of Education to
teach higher academic courses. If so, why is it NOT
listed on their page of approved colleges and
universities, did it slip their minds? If you are so
confident of YOUR interpretation of the law, why not
call them or email them and inform them of the
mistake?

The certificate that NSA got is something different
and defined by law as something different then
approval of higher academic course curriculum. Just
like an occupancy permit is different from an alcohol
permit for a bar. The bar can claim it got a permit
from the state to be a bar, but that is not the same
thing as being approved to sell liquor.   

But you know Wayne, it does not matter with you what
the law says so I cannot take you seriously. No matter
what is said, or who tells you the facts, you will
only believe the worst about NSA. 

You will never allow yourself to see that approval and
accreditation by the SBOE education is the same thing,
even though you can call the SBOE, email them, and
read the state statue. Your bigotry is too thick.  

So believe what you wish. I know the law in your head
will always fall against NSA or DW, no matter how
obvious the matter. 

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold

PS. Using color crayons does not improve your
argument, ever.
