I don&#039;t know if you guys care, but I just tried http://www.arounddublinblog.org, and it does not lead me back to your site as James claimed.  I guess it&#039;s another lie told by the District through their mouthpiece.  It seems to me that all the untruths and distortions are coming from the District through James, while your group has been very consistent in your messaging.  Just an observation.  The kitchen sink approach will get you some attention, but look how well it worked for Hillary in the end?  All she ended up looking was desperate.

I do have some constructive feedback for you, if you don&#039;t mind.  Perhaps you should compare Dublin High against the neighboring schools instead of Mission San Jose.  I know the point you are trying to make, but I think there is too much information and you should just pick one or two things to focus on.  That way you can get the point across better to lazy readers like me.

What is happening today reminds me a lot of what happened when the City tried to build that senior housing by Target many years ago.  Back then, many people, especially the seniors, fought against the project tooth and nail.  It was as if the City was trying to take away people&#039;s social security or something.  Kind of funny when you think about it.  Now, that project is beloved by all, including the seniors.  Just goes to show you how stupid some people can be.

Anyway, I digress.  Thank you for everything you do for our community.  Please keep up the good work and continue the good fight.

		<description>So the fact that no parents came out in support for a new school is because they are intimidated?

Give me a break - this whole new school idea was cooked up by greedy developers who want to boost home prices in Dublin Ranch - it has nothing to do with how good the schools are.

With education being slashed - it is critical to keep the focus on what we have.  Adding another school right now will be disastrous.</description>

		<description>See, that&#039;s where you&#039;re wrong.  It was NOT a debate.  It was NOT a Q&amp;A session.  It was a public HEARING.  Again, the TVLC folks had 3 town hall sessions for those months before.  You can&#039;t ask questions because it&#039;s a HEARING.  It&#039;s against the law to have a debate in a PUBLIC HEARING.</description>

		<description>Hi Anonymous:

I was also interested in what the supporters of the Charter School was going to say too.  Also I felt that the meeting was very organized and everyone was very respectful of one another, even when Mr. Zukowski spoke, nothing like a tea partier, whoever said that should be ashamed of themselves.  He also stated that he and his team would stay after to answer any questions or concerns that the parents had about the opening of this school, but what I found to be a very cowardily move, they left the meeting while the parents of this community was still speaking.  I also didn&#039;t appreciate that Mr. Zukowski stated that they are targeting mainly high performing students. The overall message that the Charter School sent at that meeting was not a positive one for me.</description>

		<description>Actually, I heave heard allegations that people against the charter school have been threatening those who are in favor of it. A lot of parents supporting the charter school are keeping low profile to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, the criteria for CA to approve the charter school is not how many parents supporting or opposing. It is those sixteen elements laid out by the law. We all know incumbents tend to disapprove any new stuff that is against their perceived &quot;deserved&quot; interests.</description>

		<description>There are rumors that the charter school is motivated by a personal vendetta you have.  Can you respond to these allegations?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t understand why only the founder spoke in favor of the charter school at last night&#039;s meeting.  It seemed like there was more than one person favoring the charter school in attendance but only Mr. Zukowski spoke in generic terms.  I would have thought he or someone else would have responded to all of the questions and concerns raised at the meeting.  What did that person mean when he said that this charter school was a cover for a personal vendetta?  If this is truly about a personal vendetta against the District or some board members, that would explain why no one is coming forward in support of the charter school.</description>
