Resign as the Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction
Resign as the Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction
The Issue
John Huppenthal tried to justify his robocalls encouraging parents to put their children in private schools by saying he is the Superintendent of Public Instruction, not the Superintendent of Public Schools. That didn’t fly then, anymore than his claim that he didn’t really mean all those nasty things he said will fly now. Since at least 2009, he has spewed hatred toward the poor and Hispanics. One in four children in Arizona is living in poverty and the percentage of Hispanic children in K-12 education has now surpassed that of White children. Huppenthal wouldn’t be the right guy to chart the course for any state’s education program, and especially not in Arizona. Not to mention that he doesn’t even begin to set the example for our students.
The "contrition" he showed at his latest press conference doesn't do it. He can't take away the comments he's made, they are descriptive of who he is. Do the honorable thing John, resign now!
