I have been reading the blogs and for those of you on the fence, I understand. Gary McHenry is a nice man and I think it is human nature to empathize with the reality that this is a very public and very unpleasant end to his time at MDUSD.
It is impossible for the Superintendent to make the kinds of changes needed in this district. We can debate whether he is capable or not, but in reality, in order to make the changes he would have to admit to the things in this district that have been handled incorrectly. His position in the district places the responsibility for mistakes, misjudgments, mismanagement, and a myriad of other shortcomings squarely on his doorstep. The very action needed for change costs him credibility. This paradigm alone makes change an impossible feat.
We can be angry, we can and should take action, after all we have at stake the education of the children in our communities. However, I want to remind you he is a man, he has a family, he gets up and goes to work in the morning... let's get the job done with dignity.

So you pushed a black man due to racist beliefs and look now, you hired a white man and he was not here no where near as long as Mchenry was.
