On Monday, I told you that the coverage of Joyce Foreman’s wrongheaded rants against the DISD bond (or anything related to the district, really) generally gives you a false impression: Most sensible people don’t believe what she believes, because what she believes is wrong.

Here’s another example I came across that explains what I mean. See her quote in this story from July, which I’ve pulled out here:

“Why would we move forward talking about new schools when we haven’t talked about attendance zones to determine if some of these children could be moved to other schools?” trustee Joyce Foreman asked.

This went unchallenged. A problem, since it’s not true and easily verifiable.
