Years ago I read a story about a college professor who was addressing a class of senior students. One young man sat in the front row, slouching in his seat and yawning loudly.
The professor addressed him. "Young man, do you know that the two biggest problems of college students today are ignorance and apathy?"
The kid answered, "I didn't know that and I don't care."
What does this story have to do with this blog?
The problems of ignorance and apathy are right here in River City (apologies to Meredith Willson); errr, I mean Richland County. And there aren't new.
In his 600-page tome titled Operation Lost Trust And The Ethics Reform Movement 1989-1999, former Common Cause/SC Executive Director John Crangle wrote:"... the public is often apathetic and ignorant about such scandals." He was referring to major criminal scandals in state governments. (Page 164. ©2017 Published by the Crangle Company, Columbia, S.C.)
Have we got our own "scandal" right here in Richland 2 School District?
Would you care, if we did?
