DMCA | This week in the latest installment of what has become the long running Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) soap opera, we witnessedthe surreal renaming of 82 year old retired LAUSD Superintendent Ramon Cortines as interim LAUSD superintendent to replace Superintendent John Deasy. one might reasonably start to wonder if there is such a medical condition as Collective Alzheimer's Disease (CAD?), the worsening symptoms of which seem to have afflicted the LAUSD Board for a long time now. Case in point, the LAUSD Board seems to have forgotten Ramon Cortines' own recent rather colorful departure under fire from LAUSD and an equally morally challenging past to match John Deasy's present. How soon the Board forgets Cortines' sexual harassment charges, that were brought against him in 2012 or conflict of interest charges for having taken $150,000 a year for several years from Scholastics |
