Bean counters and the make of the Clark County school board

I read with some interest the July 9 Review-Journal article “Board fails to reflect student population.” Obviously the liberal/progressive reasoning is that only someone of the same ethnic background (Hispanic, Africa-American, etc) can represent these groups.

Following that logic, the representation of male students on the board seems lacking with one male member and six females. And let’s not overlooked the gay/lesbian/transgender community.

Apparently, we should be concerned more about the ethnic make up of the board rather than the primary focus to educate. This is another example of how liberals see you as a group not as an individual. I guess the idea of America being a melting pot and Martin Luther King’s idea of not judging someone by the color of their skin has failed.

THE LATEST

Nevadans should look west to California, where 100 percent of that huge state’s energy was recently supplied by renewable sources for a stretch of more than nine hours.

LETTER: Biden confused over inflation.

All this mismanagement has resulted in the national debt rising at a very alarming rate.

LETTER: Still after the Jan. 6 protesters

So more than three years after the riot, the government is still using taxpayer money and manpower in its vendetta to ferret out Donald Trump supporters.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
