Differing views on experience and leadership in today’s N&R letters to the editor.
Gibsonville’s John Terry weighs in on new Guilford County Schools Superintendent Mo Green…..
Did any of you folks really think they would do the right thing? Hire a lawyer with no educational experience and next to no time in his last school system, or a former schoolteacher, award-winning superintendent and someone with a true educational background? This should have been a simple decision, but some folks had to play a card that is being worn out by certain individuals. The race card.
There is clearly one reason for the new superintendent we find ourselves being forced to accept. Skin color. This world would be a better place if we would hire folks for their abilities, knowledge and background, instead of the color of their skin.
….while Greensboro’s Maureen Parker says experience is overrated when choosing a president:
So I question the suggestion that “experience” in this high-stakes election means too much. And those who devalue the importance of inspiration have forgotten our human need to hope, love, dream, think, believe and rise above ourselves.
How nice. I can only add that I listened to the various reasons people support Obama during Hannity’s ‘Man on the Street’ interviews yesterday. It was frightening.
