Anon,

you are cracking me up! Somehow, I don't think that the Disciplinary Commission would find this kind of (alleged) behavior as falling under their purview. That is just a wild guess, of course.

Look, it's the same Heather Neal that Daniels ...

Look, it's the same Heather Neal that Daniels put in charge of public records to make sure the public never got to see any of their records.

No wonder she rejected so many complaints filed with her office.

She's an attorney, right? If this story is true, she falsified a public record, right? Falsifying public records is actually a real violation of the Indiana lawyer rules, right, and not some sort of made-up free speech attack like Ogden is getting, right?

Will the Indiana Bar take a look at her for falsifying public records?

Much praise again goes to AP's Tom Lobianco for his investigative journalism in this matter, and others. In the plan to deliberate dumb down America and train students, not educate them to be independent thinkers, school boards are to be eliminated. The whistleblower from the Reagon administration, Charlotte T. Iserbyt, is to be commended for all she has revealed re this treachery.

This situation with Bennett reads like a play being reviewed in the NFL. The play was reviewed and it appears from what I have read the rules were changed during the review.

It will be interesting to see if there is any follow-up by the Press. How exactly did Bennett have the changes made??? Were these changes applied to other schools or just one School.

The associated issue is the Privatized Charter School System clique. I would hazard a guess, that we will see more of these efforts to make the Charter-Privatized Schools look good.

They are publicly-funded, Paul, but they are privately-run. They aren't a part of a school district where the voters of a district get to elect their board members.

Varan, I would point out that charter schools are public, not private schools. There are problems though such as those pointed out by this article.

There is another issue with Charter Schools and that is that the state pays less money per pupil for Charter students. Compare what the state pays IPS per student to any charter school.

You're right, Gary. Privatizing schools is just a shift of tax monies to the private sector. Charter schools are just another profit mill for the politically connected. The Republican party's cry today is, "Thar's MONEY to be made in them thar public goods!"
