THUMBS DOWN SUFFER, LITTLE CHILDREN?

THUMBS DOWN to ROBERT MEDRANDO for seeking to return to the Dallas Independent School District board. Medrano, who was voted off the board in 1987. is a bad dream from the past, a man whose reputation has been shadowed by allegations of diverting public money to his relatives, voting fraud (in his last school board campaign three years ago), and a 1986 conviction for DWI. Perhaps worse, Medrano would be a strident, uncompromising force on a board that already has more than its share of noisy ideologues. The children and taxpayers of the DISD deserve better.
