That said, it is unseemly to drag people's kids into the conversation. The people of Emeryville elected her to be their voice. She won the popular vote, so her politics align with the citizens'. <br /><br />The two other white members of the school board have no kids at all and only one was elected. He beat an African American by a very small margin, less than 20 votes. The member that is Latino sends his child to a charter. The remaining member was not elected but her daughter graduated from Emery and she worked there before being laid off by Rubio. The board's race aligns with the city, which is mostly white (44%) and Asian (25%, yellow people to you?) with African American (17%, black people to you) and Latino (9%, guessing this is what you mean by brown people or does it include people from India and other countries in that part of the world. Can you post a color guide, like a paint strip, so we can group people?)

I differ with your findings however; Pixar specifically and big business in general are also not part of the equation. They have nothing whatsoever to do with this school district. The district would be better off if they did…at least better off financially. They give no money at all to Emery Unified (despite promises that they would be benefactors to the schools in the case of Pixar). The problem is actually more simple: Mr Rubio is an entrenched and autocratic chief. The Board pays deference to him and the “customers” are not shown deference. That’s the problem. <br />Regarding white supremacy being deferred to at public schools nationwide, I would have to agree with you in large part, at least by degree. That's pretty obvious. Students are not taught about Howard Zinn for instance.

Because if they don't Arizmendi goes out of business. That's not the case with our public school system here in this country and specifically speaking of the one which I have personal experience with, the emery Unified School District. The emery Unified School District is not concerned with catering to the people in the community unless those people are there targeted group and that Target group is big business. Let's just kick some facts. The educational system in this country is yet just one more tool that is used to drill in so-called white supremacy. Let's look at our history courses for instance. All of the bullshit that we're taught and told to memorize completely oblivious of the true facts being hidden from us. The emery Unified School District is more concerned with getting large contributions from companies like Pixar then it is about our children's education which is why the emery Unified School District is in the toilet where student scores are concernedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-8889615410219928092018-01-11T09:49:16.276-08:002018-01-11T09:49:16.276-08:00It was explained to me that the reason that Emery ...It was explained to me that the reason that Emery School District and not just it but other schools in the United States are so screwed up is because the school system has always been an extension of politics.

No accountability! It would be glorious to just be able to have one's way with the public commons! Trust me you would tell us, everything will be great if we can just get rid of those that would hold us to account. It's all about trusting those in power.

A 'calculation' would be a better descriptor I think. I think they feel they have created enough space needed for political gambits like this. It's a sign they're not feeling enough pressure from below. Or perhaps they're deluded and they DID miscalculate. In that case we probably won't know until the next general election. Unless of course the people rise up and demand better from their public agency.

They are not required to automatically give the position to the top vote getter in the general election. But with the history at Emery I'd say this was a stupid mistake on the board's part.
