What gets me about the "school in Leigh at any cost" crowd is their tendency to demonize those who dare question the wisdom of keeping a school in Leigh, regardless of the tax burden on District 39 property tax payers. If you should dare suggest that you subscribe to the heresy that it is time to consider school consolidation and other measures to reduce taxes, then you are obviously an evil miserly monster who "hates kids" or "doesn't care about the kids".
Well--to that I reply "Isn't it time we start to care about the taxpayers a little?" And to which I would also like to add a warning: that sooner or later people are going to realize that these pro-school and "pro-kids" people are looking out more for themselves and their own selfish interests. Because there are more people in the Leigh district who do NOT have kids in the school then those that do.
