Letter to the Editor: RE: Acknowledgment for Civic Leadership and Engagement Too often, we only hear about the negative – particularly when it comes to Jackson Public Schools. As a long-time supporter of public education, I believe we need to commend Pamela Shaw, Founder and President of P3 Strategies, LLC, for supporting the transition of Dr. Cedrick Gray, Superintendent of Jackson Public Schools, to his new assignment.
Too often, executives in public education do not employ best practices when it comes to assuming the leadership of school districts. The net result is the loss of valuable time studying and learning the complex organization before installing needed reforms. By recruiting and contracting with an agreed-upon expert to review and catalogue the challenges and opportunities that lay before JPS, Pamela Shaw has made it possible for Superintendent Gray to move forward, with urgency, some key initiatives that will accelerate student and school achievement in Jackson.
At no expense to the school district or the citizens of Jackson, Pamela Shaw has demonstrated the type of civic leadership and community engagement that will benefit JPS, its students, staff, and all of the citizens of Jackson. Such support and leadership is worthy of deep gratitude and replication by all concerned persons.
It’s important when this type of individual contribution is made, that we acknowledge with gratitude the person that made it possible. Thanks, Pam! The people of Jackson are grateful for your selfless work on behalf of our children.
No, scrappy, Todd's point was to show that your logic doesn't work.
As for the stuff you're stating as fact, I'm going to have to ask you to provide real sources, not from rhetoric sites. If you can't source your material well, you're just spreading rumors.
First of all, scrappy, not everyone agrees with your contention that abortion is murder, including established Supreme Court precedent. You seem to want to stipulate that, but it's your stipulation, not other people's. You get your own opinion, but you don't get your own facts.
I also suggestion using sourcing that at least on its face seems more credible than "abort73.com." Even if the facts are correct, people aren't going to be likely to believe them.
Finally, the whole issue of white people--not saying you are, despite the North Dakota thing--trying to eliminate abortion on race grounds is offensive to many people, although it's become a popular ploy by the far right.
We ran a [very interesting story about that last fall.][1]
I am in favor of abortion rights, but I am respectful about people who believe that it is immoral even though it is a legal constitutional right. I believe we work toward common ground (as much as possible) and do everything we can to reduce the incidence of abortion. And that sure doesn't include call the pill and the morning-after pill "murder," as the McMillans do.
All the moralizing isn't going to help anything. It's none of their business whether people choose to have sex before marriage -- and frankly that seems to be their obsession as much as anything.

Of course, Todd's response just now was much better than mine. He did it again.
