Letter: Response to trustee’s racism claim
I am writing this letter in response to the guest view in which Ray Rodriguez accused the administration of San Benito High School of racism based on having separate presentations in both English and Spanish that were related, but not the same, and your response to it in the paper.

Mine is that teachers are arrogant, overpaid left wing ideologues who fill our young peoples' minds with socialist garbage. I believe that I am Taxed Enough Already.
