There is an attempt to censure Jim Stoffer and oust him from the Sequim School Board.
Alas, I know only what I have read.
I do know Jim Stoffer and know him to be a tireless advocate who has worked indefatigably for the community, the schools, and our students, often or usually at his expense.
I know Jim to be a brave man of compassion, intelligence, honesty, and integrity.
He has often pushed for the larger truths on behalf of us all, especially students.
Though I do not know the details of the current issue, I must say that unless he has acted diametrically out of character, I support Jim.
I urge that decisions be made for the right reasons, certainly not to prevent embarrassment.
In our increasingly political and polarized world, we need the brave, honest advocates of truth and compassion; and their voices must not be silenced.
