Both sides of the argument have merit and we should educate ourselves and strive to understand the issues.

We have had repeated administrations that only worried about their private agendas and promoted ideas that continue to divide our city and hurt the children. Educators in our community have been the glue through these administrations, the lawsuit and the school boards.

This is NOT a comedy. This is quite a serious subject. in a way, it is a train wreck. Many of the teachers have trouble affording to come to school. The Board is a threat to our education. They pretend to care so much for our education but they won't even consider resolving the dispute between them and the teachers union. The teachers are the glue that holds our schools together. Without them, we wouldn't be able to go to school. So, keep your comments to yourself. You are being rude to the students, and the teachers. This is not a bizarre cross between the Titanic and the Hindenburg. People died in those. They weren't things that could have been prevented from happening. The dispute is and it can be resolved before it's too late. I am Ali Holmquist, and I represent the student body at Auburn.

This is some bizarre cross between the Titanic and the Hindenberg. I'm sorry, this is a serious subject. But this would be high comedy if it weren't for the outcome. This isn’t a train wreck.
