As we begin to celebrate the hopes of a dream deferred, let us be mindful of the fact that we cannot appreciate the fulfillment of the dream unless we rid the temple of RATS.

Now what comes before us amid all the chaos, confusion, lies, soul selling and in some cases the joys and pains over tumultuous shouts of Jubilees? But you know what rises above all of that? The question that rings like the clarion call of a bell on a buoy out in the sea beckoning the lost to bring them to safety is: “Who will be King?” Please, don’t think too far ahead of me. I’m using our celebrated hero as the representation by his accomplishments of which the question asks. Nothing more, nothing to the attachment of what the cognitive association to the subjective of King vs peasant is.
BCPS School Board members are looking to join the county wide Inspector General (IG). For the past 12 years, the countywide IG office has been responsible for investigating ethically questionable activity brought to its attention with employees and practices within county government and 31 municipalities. Voters approved a County IG position and office back in 2010 to address what some believed to be serious corruption in city and county government.
Now that I have taken you somewhat down memory lane, I want to have some serious reflection on Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes’ song, Wake Up Everybody. Teddy Pendergrass leads in with:
Whose Christmas Wish/Takeover is this: DeSanta or Kris Cringleruption
At this critical moment, I am one thought away from recommending that the State comes in and does a total overhaul of Broward County Public Schools. The corruption runs so deep that former Board members are serving as de facto members and continuing to push their agendas with the newly elected Board.
Board member Sarah Leonardo recently asked that the Board engage in training on Robert’s Rules of Order. That would really be beneficial to the Board, but it is also important that the Interim Board Attorney, Marilyn Batista, is sitting on the front row with a college ruled note pad. Not only is she not well versed on Robert’s Rules, but she comes off as not well versed on the Sunshine Law and how to advise the Board as it relates to both.
Red Broward is reporting that Hixon worked for the cryptocurrency giant, FTX that recently filed for bankruptcy. The organization has lost a reported $15 billion in one week. You read right. Not $1,500, $15,000 or $15,000,000. FTX has lost $15 billion… that’s 15 with nine zeroes behind it. Furthermore, the legitimacy of the organization is in question, therefore they are not collecting any additional funds or donations until this can all be squared away.
As I sat in the audience at the Broward Schools Board meeting on yesterday as they discussed the approved termination of superintendent Vicky Cartwright, at one time I thought that I was at a dress rehearsal of a stage play called “what went wrong with the attorney.” If you have been following the news and the saga surrounding the BROWARD COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD, you know that the superintendent has been criticized and rightfully so for her incompetency in her leadership ability as overseen in managing herself and others.
Before I begin on my focus for this week’s article, I must ask, “where do we go from here?” Elections bring out the best and the worst of people, be it from leadership or voters. The Yin and the Yang has been caught up in the tic and the toc. When will we learn that social media should be a tool and not a toy expression which presented can be misrepresented to what you intended. It can be a cowardly way for one to throw rocks and hide their hand (so they think). There has been a lot of unreported, overlooked, and flat-out disregard for the misbehaviors of leadership in our schools and on our school board.
