I would like to publicly acknowledge the Kelseyville School Board for their incredible efforts and thoughtfulness concerning the recent mascot issue.
Every board member is to be commended for his handling of this very sensitive situation. By example, they showed our community – and especially our children – how to handle a challenge with objectivity and compassion.
They did their homework (hours of it for each member, I am sure), they listened respectfully to all perspectives, then each made his own decision based upon a fair and impartial consideration of the issue.
I am very proud to live in a community which has shown a commitment to treat all people with dignity and respect. What better message can we give our children?
