Several pro public education blogger have recently taken to posting on the North County Times blogs after articles about VUSD. They are angry. They have a right to be. Our ANTI friends have done great harm to our district and the children we try to educate.
However no matter how many lies are ANTI friends tell, no matter how aggravated we feel at their cowardly attempts to hide behind the "false flag" labels of Christian, conservative or Republican, we must not try to identify the bloggers by guessing at their real names in our posting. This practice is forbidden by ACE who enforces nctimes rules. We must try to follow all the rules scrupulously. We must be better than they are.
The rules are enforced against us far more than our ANTI friends because ACE and other in charge at the North County Times are in actuality conservative Republican Christians. Our ANTI friends use many of the same terms as Christians, conservatives and Republicans. This technique results in confusion which has in the past worked to the political benefit of our ANTI friends when it comes to the North County Times articles and the editors attitudes. Remarkably ACE and others at nctimes have become far more even handed recently. But let's not push our luck.

To Eleanor, mac4me, and Rich L, your posts will be deleted as "abuse" when our angry friends alert ACE by pushing the abuse button. The rules enforced on this forum do not allow speculation about a bloggers identity nor apparently do they allow the use of the very appropriate and accurate term "anti" to describe our angry friends.
Your righteous anger in response is far more appropriate than theirs. They have reached into our lives and those of our children to damage us and them. They have caused great harm to our districts reputation and cost VUSD million of dollars wasted on the third high school shenanigans by the two trustees this small group of angry ones helped elect. What this group has done to our fine district is truly remarkable in its depredation on our children futures and to the wallets of the taxpayers of VUSD.
If the community was truly aware of who these folks are, what they have done, and what their truly evil hidden agenda for our fine schools is, the candidates our angry friends support could not get thirty votes in an election.
Only by hiding behind the cover of false flag labels like "conservative," "Republican," and "Christian" can they fool and confuse an ever smaller group of uniformed conservatives, Republicans and Christians into believing that they have either the ethics or the views of the majority of other conservatives, Republicans or Christians in our district.
Of all those groups whose names they hide behind, it is the Christians, like me, who should be, and are, the most outraged when we find out that they have used us and the name we call ourselves simply in order to gain personal political power. Second only to our anger about the real harm they have done to children in our VUSD classrooms, is the outrage we all feel about their use of the term Christian to describe their very un-Christ-like actions.
I suggest that if Eleanor, mac4me, or Rich L wish to re-post without the references to the obvious identity of blogger "Roxy" who I believe also posts as "Dorothy," your post will likely not be taken down.
ACE at the North County Times has actually become pretty even handed in the posts he takes down in the last month or so. I think we have a couple of teachers at Madison Middle School to thank for that. They invited one of the editorial writers, Jim Trageser, to their school for a day and seemed to have made a very positive impression on him.
That positive effect has seemed to modified the North County Times previous obvious efforts to support the candidates and anti-teacher views of our angry friends. The paper and the censor, ACE, now seem to be taking a more neutral stand on VUSD issues.
