Calling Dr. Love

Dr. Nancy Sebring, the onetime Superintendent...err Stupid-Intendent of Des Moines Public Schools, was contacted for comment about her elicit e-mails.

Sebring (pictured showing a more accurate depiction of the size of her lover's package?), seemed to blame the media for this mess.

The media have chosen to focus on this issue as I leave Des Moines, rather than focus on the success and growth the district has experienced over the previous six years."

Earlier Sebring had told the Ragister --

I want to say that I do think every individual’s entitled to have a private life, even public employees, and I am deeply disappointed that the Register would consider this newsworthy.

She puts the DUH in Des Moines and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Does that mean she won't be applying for the open Ankeny Superintendent position?

Just as well, anyone in this day and age that doesn't understand that hitting the delete button on e-mail doesn't remove them from the server deserves the hole they dug for themselves.

Back to more DUH, Des Moines school board President Teree Caldwell-Johnson said the district already has strong rules in place concerning technology use and ethical conduct that are enforced with due diligence.

Someone with a little more smarts, Phil Roeder,said Sebring’s steamy emails likely failed to be detected by the district spam filters because “when it’s individual to individual, that usually doesn’t get picked up”.

Roeder rambled on, “Without a public records request, this would never have come to light.”

Caldwell-Johnson continued, Sebring’s sexually explicit emails to her lover are “quite frankly, yesterday’s news for me.

That's because Caldwell-Johnson found out about them on May 9, most of the public found out on June 1 or 2nd.

Minority

The Ragister ran an Opinion piece that cited Dummycrat State Representative Ako Abdul-Samad (pictured).

Iowa View: Minority and women's voices needed in election process

According to Ako, In 2003, we were talking about getting an African-American on the school board and board of supervisors. We are still talking about it.

That must comes as a surprise to Teree Caldwell-Johnson, and the scientific community is united in that fact, as she has served on the Des Moines Public School Board since 2006.

Also worth noting, Ako was elected to that board in 2003 and served until 2007.

I'm having trouble believing her

Teree Caldwell-Johnson is the former Polk County Manager and is currently CEO of Oakridge Neighborhood and Neighborhood Services. A position she's held for at least two years.

Oakridge began as low income housing and has expanded services to assist their residents.

Caldwell-Johnson is now a candidate for the Des Moines school board. Today's Ragister says, the job has opened her eyes to the needs of underprivileged children.

I realize she may have been insulated in her six figure jobs in the past, but Polk County doles out millions in programs to assist underprivileged children and she would have been involved in that.

Caldwell-Johnson has served on the Mid-Iowa Health Foundation board since 2002. Their mission...to serve as a partner and catalyst for improving the health of vulnerable people in greater Des Moines.

She also serves on the boards of the United Negro College Fund and Planned Parenthood Foundation.

At best Caldwell-Johnson has an extremely slow learning curve and that makes her a less than ideal candidate for school board.
