EDITORIAL BOARD ARROGANCE LAUSD WON'T LET UP IN SPAT WITH MAYOR.IT'S hard to believe the Los Angeles school The Los Angeles School of Urbanism is an academic movement emerged during the mid-1980s, loosely based at the University of Southern California and UCLA, that poses a challenge to the dominant Chicago School of Urbanism. board could get any pettier in its fight with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa Antonio Ramon Villaraigosa (born Antonio (Tony) Ramon Villar, Jr. on January 23, 1953) is the mayor of Los Angeles, California. He is the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles since Cristobal Aguilar in 1872. . After all, it's already filed a lawsuit to block the mayor's popular school-reform plan. And it waited until Villaraigosa was in China to announce that it had picked a new superintendent without his consultation. But now the board has sunk to even lower depths, filing a technical complaint about the classification of the committee Villaraigosa formed to push for his schools plan in Sacramento. Why? Assembly Bill 1381 is law, period, and no legalistic le·gal·ism n. 1. Strict, literal adherence to the law or to a particular code, as of religion or morality. 2. A legal word, expression, or rule. nitpicking nit·pick·ing n. Minute, trivial, unnecessary, and unjustified criticism or faultfinding. nitpicking nit (inf) n → Kleinigkeitskrämerei f is going to change that. Besides, board members have little business complaining about how Villaraigosa used private funds to pursue his agenda when they used public funds See Fund, 3. See also: Public to pursue theirs. Board members, some of whom are up for re-election in March, might want to pay attention to what just happened across this country. This is the kind of behavior that ends political careers. |
