    I am going to simply cut to the chase. I am not at all surprised, but still disturbed by Zeman’s latest behavior.  He has gone to great lengths to position himself for power. It was Zeman who broke the search process by speaking to Dr. Jesus Jara after the application window for the superintendent position closed. It was Zeman who connected Jara to Alhadeff.  It was Zeman who strategically brought up the subject of another candidate but would not call Jara by name, instead egged Alhadeff into doing it from the dais. From what I know of Alhadeff, she made a mistake but if she is as smart, measured, and meticulous as I believe she is, she won’t make that mistake again.

I wrote this piece many years ago, and today the thought of getting involved with life threatening incidents to save lives seems to be a common constant thought do to the climate of racism, fascism, intolerance and fear. These thoughts are  so prevalent. We all may become confronted with this devastating choice. If it comes before you, make sure you are prepared for the outcome either way it goes because it will affect you for the rest of your life. Bobby R. Henry, Sr.
