Project Enlightenment’s lights are out. Not literally, though they might as well be. It seems that those rumors flitting about in March about Project Enlightenment’s budget cuts that the school board was squashing were actually right on. At the time the board told us to lighten up. John Tedesco, the board’s most vocal newcomer and staunch conservative who’s confusing politics with public service, even stated how much he values and supports Project Enlightenment.
Yet with a zip of a box cutter the budget’s been slashed.
This isn’t about politics. Let’s not muddy what’s best for children and families with political gain and pretenses of martydom and bootstraps and other such cliches. Children aren’t political pawns. Education is a community value.
Hop over to Deep South Moms where I’ve continued my venting.

Education may be a community value, but the way it's done is as subject to the whims of the different facets of the community as anything else.
Witness the escapades of the Texas School Board.
“Education is a community value.” Absolutely. Until the community realizes education’s true value, parents and educators will continue to fight for their children.
