This Is It - Arrogance With Ignorance

I have been writing about it for almost 17 months : "Arrogance with ignorance". Check out the labels on my blogs.

The arrogance of the HCPS School Board chair was to threaten a board member to be removed from the board meeting. The ignorance was that the Chair did not have authority to do so.

School Board talk on travel takes harsh turn - St. Petersburg Times:

"In fact, she had no authority to do so, board attorney Tom Gonzalez said."

To add insult to what should have been a professional at work, the Times reports this in the same above article:

"Faliero later said she never intended to have Griffin removed,..."

Ms. Griffin had what it took to withstand this threat. She even stated that the Chair was a peer, not an employer. Look at what happened to Doug Erwin. Look at what happens to school employees, parents and students who cannot overcome the arrogance with ignorance when it happens.

For those who are concerned that people do not respect the school system, look no further. It was on full display yesterday at the ROSSAC.
