Where’s Their Conscience?
Letter to the editor

Information is gradually coming out about wrongdoing at Capistrano Unified School District. When will district employees start speaking up about what they’ve witnessed? The trustees have been covering for the superintendent – first denying wrongdoing and then, as evidence comes out, denying laws were broken. Now the evidence of lawbreaking is coming out as well. The problems aren’t going away with the resignation of the superintendent.

Isn’t it interesting no district employee came forward about the Enemies List? Isn’t it strange no one witnessed Brown Act violations? Claims made by parents who organized the recall are turning out to be true. If it hadn’t been for a so-called disgruntled ex-employee, it may have taken years for anyone to reveal the range of serious problems.

If district employees have information of wrongdoing and they’re concerned about losing their jobs, they can report it confidentially. The District Attorney and Grand Jury are listed in the phone book. I continue to be amazed at those who are willing to look the other way about the knowledge of wrongdoing and cover-up.
