Your link to the American Spectator article is incorrect, but it’s a really dumb article anyway.

Of all the school board candidates, only Tracy Hollander believes that the school board bears some responsibility for the failed search for a superintendent.  Candidate Appel thinks the answer is to fire the old search firm and hire a new one. Incumbent Levya-Cutler concurs.  Candidate Harrison thinks it’s irrelevant, because the school board should be working to build socialism instead of wasting time on trivialities like finding a new superintendent. 

One serious candidate, two grandstanding blowhards, one colorful Berkeley character.
