I was disheartened to hear that the state has decided to strip the SLPS of its accreditation today. Giving control to the state, and naming a developer from Chesterfield as the head of the SLPS's, in my opinion, is a mind-boggling and awful idea. Beyond awful.
Mayor Slay's support of this take over has caused me to re-evaluate my support for him. I used to think he was good for the City, and while I think he's done some good things, I'm beginning to realize he may be a big part of our city's problem.
The state controls our police department and now our school's, that's not something to be proud of Mr. Mayor. What's next? The citizen's of St. Louis City should choose who is on the school board and vote out who they're unhappy with. You were among many who were instrumental in taking that choice away from us. Your lack of (and perhaps misguided) leadership in regards to the SLPS speaks volumes to me.
