I just found out that the woman who wrote this comment about me on Facebook is running as a write-in candidate for school committee.
“Lori, I think you should get the facts about the 2 way program before you assume it is being used as a punching bag. For the English speaking kids it’s a great program but How long do you think your children should ride on the backs of all the latino kids in this community. A program is suppose to work for everyone not just the white middle class. I understand after 6 months your child was speaking spanish and you were so excited but were the latino kids in your child’s class speaking English in 6 months. If your biggest issue is a bus ride you should be thrilled..what happens to these spanish speaking kids after your child moves on fluent in spanish? do you even care? You should because if it wasn’t for them your child wouldn’t have this program.”
If you live in the ‘Ham, please vote on April 13th. The three school committee members who are up for re-election are running unopposed, so if people decide not to vote because there’s no point, a write-in candidate could actually win. If your kids are in the Two-Way program…a person who spreads these misconceptions about the program (not to mention unfounded lies and assumptions about me) is not the best choice for school committee. Just my opinion…vote as you see fit, but VOTE!
