I am currently on a task force for the Office of Public Instruction, and at the beginning of our only in-person meetings in Helena a few weeks ago, we were welcomed by the state superintendent, who asked each of us to introduce ourselves and our "why" for being there. Knowing her hostility to public schools, I took the opportunity to talk about me, my mother, my grandfather, and my children all being a product of Montana public schools and how much I value them.

Excellent article. I relate and agree. Well written and to the point!
Bravo. This is too seldom said.
