But I&#8217;ll start here with this withering comment sent to me from an email friend related to the community meetings and their empty sounding call for input from the public.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Dixon used to do the same, &#8220;What I heard at community meetings&#8230;&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Then my friend notes that the meetings under our previous Poobah Dixon mostly were a forum for him, not the community, to trumpet his rationalization for a huge school building plan. He did all the talking and apparently he was a good listener. His rationale? Equity. My friend goes on:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He kept putting out &#8220;equity&#8221;. So how did that play out? Denfeld got the Deli culinary program and East got the restaurant  cuisine.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have no idea if it is true that they teach kids how to cook at Denfeld and feed them the good stuff at East. That would be immoral and I find it hard to believe such a situation exists. If I was to rejoin the school board next January I&#8217;d make inquiries. For now I&#8217;ll just post this here in hopes that one of my eight loyal readers get ambitious enough to make that inquiry for me and gets back to me so I can reaffirm or dismiss the allegation.
