Continued Insanity

The Capital never ceases to amaze with its School Board selection editorials. Today's starts out like so:

Powerlessness is never a good feeling, particularly when it involves the appointment of officials - such as school board members - who can have a major local impact.

Which is funny, because I feel powerless over the newfangled system that John Leopold and his ideologically-simpatico Democratic friends are foisting upon us on July 1st. Because, contrary to what they are continually trying to feed people, the people will still have less impact over the new selection process than the old. Particularly when one considers that even when a nominee is rejected, the unelected bureaucrats are the only group empowered to select the potential replacements.

Let us hope that the petition drive succeeds. It may not be a panacea, but at least once and for all people will decide if they want to have the opportunity to have a voice in the matter or if they think John Leopold, Martin O'Malley, and their statist friends should have all of the say....
