To the Editor:

Just as the flower turns to seed and falls to the ground to be born anew ... So must the Episcopal Church go through the process of re-birth or perhaps more aptly the process of pruning away the dead wood. I grieve for the faithful who depend upon these clergy for spiritual guidance and direction who are left to sort through this mess virtually on their own.

Smash the Church? Smash the State? I wonder how the author is defining "bigot?"

I must coment on this subject matter. The church must stay out of government business at times. For them to come out with their own discrimination laws is down right wrong. But ask this group about paying taxes than they will cry fold. But it's ok to support legislation to hate LGBT community member at the same time they talk about how God love us all isn't bullshit !

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Randy Shaw has gotten this exactly right, and hit the nail on the head about this "profoundly disempowering" attitude, what I call an incurable case of "glass-half-empty-itis."

To the Editor:

It's always easy to feed the established aristocracy and market fundamentalist religion, and it's always well-rewarded to pretend it's also natural and scientific.

Capitalism's roots as a "discipline" and later as an ideology were always from the elites, for the elites, and over the populace. From the self-serving nest-feathering day-trading trust-fund dittohead David Ricardo to today's corporate whore media and monotheistic economics seminaries, it's always fine sport to be an establishmentarian faux-contrarian.

To the Editor:

School site councils are mandated to develop and recommend only the categorical portion of the budget, though in SFUSD the council recommends the entire consolidated budget. With almost all categorical funds made flexible, districts can use these monies as they see fit. This means that the CDE no longer has any jurisdiction over the use of the Tier III funds, EIA and SPED excepted. This has dramatically undercut the purpose of an SSC as the members have little to no recourse with the Categorical Programs Management Unit if they disagree with the district over the use of funding.
