The original draft of this essay was written in midJune, 2014. The figures cited in the piece are
indicative of the Form-460 information available at that
time. I will be writing another piece which discusses
the currently fundraising figures soon.
Larry Aubry 07/24/14 The runoff election to fill the unexpired term of
deceased LA school board member Marguerite Poindexter LaMotte is now

In calling for a special election, what Mark RidleyThomas, Alex Johnson, Rev. Tulloss, Corri Revere,
and the charter schools along with their billionaire
puppet masters are really saying is we have to hurt
the children to protect the children.-Celes King IV
We've looked at some of Alex "ALEC" Johnson's
funders during the primary election in The case
against Alex Johnson.
Ellen Lubic of Los Angeles sent the following roundup of editorials and news
stories endorsing George McKenna for the school board race in Los
Angeles. Control of the board hinges on the outcome of this election. The
vote takes place August 12.
Ellen Lubic writes:
Forgive this very long comment below. It is the latest blog post of Scott
Folsom, the well known advocate for public schools and their students. His
blog site is 4lakids.
Herein, Scott covers just about all there is to date on this lopsided District 1
BoE race between the verified and highly qualified educator, McKenna vs.
the empty suit being created by the big bucks of the privatizers, Johnson.
At the bottom of this long exposition, Scott offers the ways we can all help
get McKenna elected.

On August 12th there will be an election to determine who gets to fill the
final 10 months of the late Marguerite Poindexter LaMottes seat on the
LAUSD Board of Education. August 12th is also the first day of school for the
new school year. And as the kids head back to the classroom the adults are
behaving badly.
Theres a theme here; you will read below differing accounts of the goings
on/shenanigans/dirty politics in District One. The L.A. Times reendorsement of Dr. McKenna and that of AALA, the administrators union.
Sandy Banks attempt to be fair+even-handed though in telling the truth
she cannot help but side with the truth. The Red Queens intellectual
outrage. The L.A. Sentinels grassroots outrage tempered with pure
political intimidation, fearful in naming the name of the Powerbroker-WhoShall-Not-Be-Named. (Does the name Lord Valdemort ring a bell?) And the
angry censored Soulvine columns of Betty Pleasant; the editor pulled the
plug on her L.A. Wave op-eds the past two weeks lest He-Who-Must-NotBe-Offended/The Outside-Operator-in-Chief take offense.
4LAKids has already declared our support for Dr. McKenna. In attempted
equal-time/fair-play I have yet to find an article supporting Dr. McKennas
opponent that doesnt reek of framing, spin and paid political wordcraft. Or
