What sort of art school practices censorship? That question was answered this week when Sue Vaughn, the principle at the Orange County High School for the Arts (OCHSA), literally stopped the presses – she interfered with the publishing of the school paper because she didn’t like something [...]
I opposed the SAUSD Measure G bond because it made no sense to give more of our tax money to a school district that is so completely corrupt and mismanaged. And it made even less sense to increase our taxes during a time of economic malaise.
Sure enough, at the last SAUSD School Board meeting, the [...]
