question for school board election
Dear Saffie,
I've noticed that Bubblelife has posted some
questions asked by a community member to both Sam Dalton and Amy Titus.
I have some questions too.
Last week my husband attended a
breakfast at Armstrong sponsored by the Dad's Club. At the meeting, Sam
Dalton spoke and told the dads that he was running for school board and
wanted their vote. I don't know what Sam said exactly but this is what
my husband came away having heard. "Vote for me because I'm a dad and
she's a mom. I have four kids and she has two and she doesn't even send
them to Park Cities schools."
Now I have to say I am
surprised. Not surprised about this stereotypical men's hearing but
that Sam Dalton would use this means to try and get support from dads
there. Carol Dalton is a peach and has done so much on so many
committees and I can't believe he would actually use "She's a mom" as a
negative thing about the other candidate who is a mom. I've known the Daltons and have seen Carol volunteer, and she's amazing.
I would like for both candidates to answer the following questions.
Why does your position as a mom/dad make you better qualified to be on the school board?
How does your having children in/not in the school district help your perspective?
Thank you. |
