Everything You Need to Know About MPS School Board Candidate Leon Todd
Go read his responses to a questionnaire sent out by the Journal Sentinel.
First off, it says a lot about a person when they RESPOND IN ALL CAPS. Second, while the district is predominantly African-American, why is it just “BLACK CHILDREN CAN’T AFFORD 4 MORE YEARS TO EDUCATE A NEWCOMER TO THE DISTRICT.”?
Besides being an incredibly ridiculous statement that only those who’ve previously been in public office should be the ones running for office, what about the rest of the white/hispanic/hmong/etc kids in the district?
First, there are a number of grammatical/spelling errors in that person’s statement. Second, there are only two reasons one would ever type something in all-caps: a) he does not realize that it is painful to read; b) he does not want anyone to read it.
What’s really incredible is that he claims he “(helped) TURN MPS AROUND IN 1975-1981 AND 1994-1999.”
He’s already had two kicks at the cat and missed. If I’d been on the school board during those times, I certainly wouldn’t brag about it. His experience is probably the best reason to vote against him.
