Blaisdell letter: Complaining parents
Regarding parents that whine and complain.
When a school district follows the rules and tries to do their best in a very conflicted situation such as vaccination exemptions, there are always those that act like little children when they don’t get their way. Get over yourself. Get over your anger and grow up. Institutions like a school district do a pretty good job in spite of parents like you. Sure, I have had different opinions than the school district that schooled my five children, but we always had a lively debate, an exchange of opinions, and then found a solution. Sara Walton Brady got her way in that she had a chance to argue and be heard. The system worked. Now she wants an apology? Good grief, one should get a life and move on. Forget it and quit trying to be in the newspaper or on the radio. One should be thankful that here you can choose your own path. This parent’s rights were well served in my opinion. An apology from the school district should not be considered. I truly hope that West Ada School District does not cave and give one. Life is too short for this type of public tantrum.
