Pray for Broward

You may have heard this is Broward School Superintendent Jim Notter’s last day on the job.  You may hear about  “turning the corner”, “things changing”, and “new blood”.  Don’t be fooled. It’s all baloney.

Jim Notter was not the problem at K.C. Wright (School Board HQ).

Like plenty of other folks in Broward, Notter was an enabler, an insider and an apologist. Notter lacked the courage to stand up to the School Board, the army of administrators and principals, the Union poohbahs, lobbyists and other bullies.

Notter’s fate was sealed long ago when Board member Stephanie Kraft & Co. grew tired of him and plotted his removal.

Now, it appears Notter will ride off into the sunset (North Carolina?) while Donnie Carter does the School Board’s bidding.

Perhaps Maureen Dinnen will grant Notter’s final wish: Make all Broward schoolkids learn Mandarin Chinese

Nothing will change around here until the culture of corruption and its followers are driven from power.
