Politics Out
To the editor:
The claim made by certain individuals in Rappahannock that the present method of selecting school board members keeps politics out of education is pure propaganda.
I have no objections to Newbill Miller being my representative on the school board at this time.
However, how does the School Board Trustee Committee give credibility to their non-political philosophy when this man is the elected mayor of Washington, Va.?
Because he is an elected public official, that makes him a politician.
If you are keeping politics out of education, then why would you appoint a politician to the school board?
