ANTI lie: VTA always campaigns that it is for the children

Roxy wrote incorrectly at 11:08 PM in the comment section following the Parvin Forum atrocity, the following:

"As far as the “for the children” quote you know it is true. As you may recall the VTA campaigns always use the children."

Roxy, sorry, you are wrong.

The signs purchased by the voluntary contributions of Vista Teachers have for years contained the following three items:

(1) "The Teachers Choice", as our slogan,
(2) the names of our recommended candidates, and
(3) a red apple.

I just went out to the garage and looked at one of the signs to make sure my memory was correct and it was.

However, the inappropriate use of the VTA slogan and symbol was an issue during the 2008 and 2006 campaigns.

During those campaigns, ANTI Public EDUCATION slate candidate, Patty Anderson, used a very similar slogan, "Teachers for Patty Anderson" and a similar apple logo to try to confuse voters into thinking that the teachers of the district supported her school board candidacy.

Her despicable deception did not work. I believe she finished next to last.
