Campbell Attacks Education Policies Philosophy Pointing to a recently published letter to the press from director of education James Singleton as a further proof of the parent taxpayer complaint against the present public educational system Ken Campbell chairman of the Hal ton Renaissance com has responded with an attack on the philosophy policies and decision making procedures which prevail in ihe system making process Mr Campbell notes the only point at which the individual parent and taxpayer or apparently even the individual trustee is supposed to contribute to that Since ultimately that procedure which denies the parent and taxpayer a decisive voice In determining educational policy Is our complaint a lot we can expect from an Individual approach to the system This Is precisely why the parent and taxpayer have form such a lobhy as the Renaissance Committee so the system will be responsive to we who pay for it and entrust our children to It Noting Mr Singleton s statistics concerning rcspoase to his protest against literary sewage in the schools four favoring Campbell three opposed and one opposed lo everything Mr Campbell cited an overwhelmingly favorable re ponse from more than loo who had contacted regard this Issue with only one and that an unsigned letter Mr Camp bell claims that Mr Singleton is not the appropriate man to contact anyway and that n any have contacted their trustees instead But Mr Campbell blames the intimidations of the system and the bully tactics which the Individual parent must face if they lo some aspect of the system as the reason why the majority remain silent public apology from Mr Singleton for his breach of professional ethics In responding to the press on his protest Mr Campbell spoke of Insult added to injury by the actions of Mr Singleton subsequently When he in me to meet with him personally to discuss this matter Hound a committee of three ting me in hi off when arrived Mr Camp bell complains That sort of intimidating tactic has happened to me twice in this system in the past month says Mr Compbcll and emphasizes the contempt in which the individual payer and taxpayer Is held by such an administration Mr Campbell claims that he drew to Mr attention the contrast between the decency and respect he had shown Mr Craig refusing to comment to the press on his relat to the problem until he had spoken to him personally w hlle freely commenting to the press about ghl wing ex etc in connection with Mr Campbells protest without first speaking lo Mr Campbell about his views and Mr Campbell wonders about such a double standard of on the part of Mr Singleton and insists that such a breach of professional ethics on the part of a civil servant calls for an apology in the same press where the Innuendo about my character had been made by Mr Singleton DOGMATISM finally Mr Campbell questions Mr Singleton authority for making a dogmatic declaration con ernlng the morality of nomogexuality In his letter Mr Singleton had stated that in his opinion homosexuality Is not evil Mr Campbell cites this as a further demon strallon of the dogmatic secularism which Is the new religion dominating the public educational system For the professed majority of parents who find their moral values in the Scriptures we would prefer the teachings of Moses Jesus and Paul on such a subject to the personal opinions of James Singleton Mr Campbell announced that preparations are well advanced for the Halton Regional Renaissance rally auditorium As well as the kev note address by Toronto newscaster Larry Henderson
