My Take: Letter promoted misinformation, stereotypes
Sarah Le Febre
I didn’t sleep well last night. My stomach was turning and I just couldn’t seem to turn off my brain. This has happened to me before, but I am not usually able to pinpoint exactly why. Last night was different. I knew full well that my discontent and sadness was caused by Randy Kiekintveld’s letter published in The Sentinel encouraging the community to vote “no” on the HPS Millage. I will sleep better tonight if I respond.
Randy, I wish you knew Dan Telgenhof, AP government teacher at Holland High School. Dan is a Holland Public Schools graduate, University of Michigan alum and now one of the finest government teachers around. I wish you would have taken his class. If you had, you would know how government funding for public schools works. You would know that millage dollars can not be spent on teacher salaries.
