Luna Resign

 The citizens of Idaho have voted “no confidence” in Supt. of Schools Tom Luna's political efforts to further his own ambitions. (Notice, I did not call his efforts “leadership” because he has not led; he has railroaded.) He can have only one motive for continuing in the role as superintendent of schools:  He is pretty sure the money people and the majority of the Idaho legislators are still supporting him, as well as Butch and Lori Otter, interestingly enough. (Lori Otter's biography says she is passionate about education. It would seem that she's on the other side of that issue now--maybe the political side??)

Luna called his loss on election day a “bump in the road.” Let’s hope it’s more like a big pot hole that has derailed his railroading. His actions have shown very little concern about the education in this state. Note the major loss of money to our public schools while he's been supt. Teachers’ morale can’t get much lower. Anyone who cared about education would NOT want our teachers stressed out because of politics. Their teaching load is all the stress they need.  The teachers deserve a leader who supports them, our students, their parents, and our citizenry.

Well, I hope Idahoans recognize that he is using his position to further his own self-interests and now demand his resignation. I think he would be better qualified for a mining job in Montana.
