Re: “Charter School Rift”
I am surprised your Politically-Correct Statistics spouting writer and editor failed to notice that Ms Rodriguez's quote that "those redwood prep students" are just to "different" to be around and certainly shouldn't share space with "our school" Is not that tantamount to racism? As usual the charge of racism is intended to divide differing groups, not to unite them. It is 2013 in California, not 1965 Alabama. Demographics will reflect the population, and so will our schools. The focus at RPC is education, and they are doing it successfully. To those who keep the bad blood boiling and wounds open, Heal thy self and just "let it be"
Re: “Scowly Fortuna”
Sirs, as a 10 year resident of Fortuna, and member of the Fortuna Pistol Club, I take offense at your cartoon. Your cartoon depicting a Fortunan shooting a gun in the air with a beer in his hand, could not more off base. We have always assumed, that the elites of Arcata view us with predjudice. More than once I have had my pick up truck spit on (on the NRA sticker of course) while visiting Arcata. So, the caricature of us is not a surprise. You Elitist people of Arcata, who preach tolerance, acceptance and a New World Order view prove your ignorance and intolerance once again. Maybe you should look to our low crime statistics, clean city, wonderful residents and sense of community and see that gun ownership is the key. If you practiced what you preach, your City could be almost as good to live in as Fortuna.
Re: “Charter School Rift”
Exposed for what? Doing a Great job educating students ? I predict RPC will have many more applicants for next year. I mean wow those kids can read and write AND think? Wow! Thank goodness for prop 39. With it, many more kids are going to have a chance at a great education. PS. It is a public school!
