Edinburg News: Carmen Gonzalez Is Trying To Change Policy

I think this is clearly a case of not thinking before blogging. It is hard to believe that any intellgent person would think that Carmen Gonzalez has the power to arbitrarily make a change like lengthening the school board terms. If this were the case we would need to send her to Washington so she can effectively run another government, help clean up the corruption of our country and maybe end the war. I guess the key word is that an intelligent person would know that it takes someone like Rodney Ellis a Senator from Houston to pass legislation at the state level. Also, Carmen Gonzalez has twenty five years of experience with the school district. Again, someone with a mediocre education level could put two and two together to see that she was already working for the school district when this incident happen. The school district and the school board still found her the most experienced and gave her positions like Assistant Deputy Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent and then the biggest test of a true leader and trust of the school board, they appointed her Interim Superintendent until they could find someone to take this responsibility on. She lead our school district well and gladly handed it over when they found a replacement. Then she stayed on and served as an Assistant to the Superintedent, by this time she was ready to retire. If you want to judge her on something, judge her on her record. The legacy she created within the Edinburg School District and the one she is creating as a School Board Member. What happened in her private life is just that...private. I don't think she's hiding anything, she shouldn't have to speak about it. Do we really want to start digging up dirty secrets? I'm sure others have more to hide. The sad thing is that you can only attack her personally because she is an outstanding professional and as far as most are concerned a pillar of the community. Maybe if you paid attention you could truly understand the writing on the wall!
