Concerns about wording is a sham

The absurdity of Scott Henden’s take on tribal sovereignty should be seen for exactly the kind of political diatribe it is (“Henden disputes sovereignty,” page A1, Dec. 7 North Kitsap Herald).

It’s hard work for everyone involved, making a school district run. It’s even harder when basic language and reasoning (skills we hope all of our kids learn at school) are ignored by board members. The vast majority does understand the fact you have chosen to politicize.

The sham of moral indignation or deep concern over the words “sovereign nation” is preposterous. You are wasting precious resources and time. So, I would appreciate it, Scott, if you would leave your political agenda home, do the job you were elected to do, or seriously consider resigning, so someone who supports public education with the broadest views for the good of all present and future students can take your place and move eduction forward not backward.
