The example set by the School Board contributes considerably to the ability of this blog to provide “fair-minded” coverage. When I watch School Board meetings, I am impressed by the ability of all board members to focus on the difficult task before them. There is very little posturing or posing.

When there is universal agreement, the board thanks the administrative staff and volunteers for their good work. When there is disagreement, the debate is respectful and orderly. I only wish Congress could operate with as much aplomb.
