As sometimes happens, I have one more thing to add ...
In my 6-2-04 column (regarding Orange County School Board Chair Keith Cook's having swiped a speech from Donna Shalala for use in the Orange High School commencement ceremony) I mentioned that the movie "Titanic" was R-rated." That was an error. It was rated PG-13.
When people make mistakes, some are tickled to point out the error, some are just tickled. There will be much talk in the coming weeks about whether or not Cook should resign from the Orange County School Board. I hope that instead of quitting, he demonstrates the strength of character that it takes to admit a mistake, resign your leadership post for it, and continue your service in a manner that demonstrates you've learned your lesson.

Mr. Cook owes the students a public apology AND should resign and not allowed to run again.
Okay, so if the non-substantive pot-shot posts from the anonymous bonehead continue, I'll simply have to change the rules of the blog to prevent anonymous posts. That seems a shame.
What do you mean by Dana Thompson is probably sleeping with one eye open? She's done nothing but do what's best for the children with resistance all the way from the current school board. She's the only one that's got credibility on the board!
I made that comment elsewhere (orangepolitics.org), but I'll respond anyway.
Dana Thompson helps no one by violating the law and she has leaked more personnel information out of closed session than the bilge bay of a Keith Cook speech.
I don't believe that comment to be true regarding Dana leaking more personnel information...but you are entitled to your opinion.
I know the facts and the facts are she's the only one currently on the board that has the best interests of the children at hand. The rest are well, not worth wasting a breath on.
Dana Thompson has a lot of nerve to cast stones at Keith Cook when one considers the fact that it was her actions, for the most part, that led to the Orange County Board of Education adopting an ethics policy in the first place.
The facts simply cannot be rewritten. It's like Liz Brown telling Orange County citizens she is Anti-Merger after founding two pro-merger organizations. It's all laughable and sad at the same time.
