NEEDHAM CRONIE SPEER ON THE ATTACK

UEA sent out a press release to denounce the dirty war that Speer, on behalf of Needham , has begun to degrade Sutherland.  We knew what Needham is capable of but now she has shown it with Speer.  I am sure Citizens for Great Schools are behind the money as well since they so highly endorse Speer.  Funny how they say to be about improving schools and helping students but are nasty about it.  The old guard wants to keep its tabs on everything so that we don't uncover their dirty truths.  Don't give up Dr. Sutherland

We are looking for the flyer that was sent out to see what voters are getting at home.  If anyone has a copy email it or post it on the comments.

We need to keep pushing out all Needham cronies.

UEA PRESS RELEASE

UEA Responds to Mud‐Slinging in FWISD District 6 / Calls On Candidates to Talk About Real Issues

(Fort Worth, Texas April 13, 2015)

Today, the United Educators Association calls for the candidates in the Fort Worth ISD District 6 race to focus on the real,

substantive issues facing our students and teachers and not the needless mud‐slinging we saw in an attack piece leveled

against Dr. Ann Sutherland.

“It is shameful that the first piece of communication the voters see is a negative hit piece full of half‐truths and false

accusations”, says Steven Poole, Executive Director of UEA. “The fact of the matter is that Dr. Ann Sutherland’s censure was

nothing but an attempt to silence her. Dr. Ann Sutherland speaks truth to power and that makes some people nervous. We

need more school board members like Dr. Ann Sutherland.”

Our schools have real issues that need to be discussed and addressed. We call upon the candidates to debate class sizes, the

budget that impacts our schools, overworked teachers and staff, and the best way to address the educational needs of our

students. “What we do not need is negative mud‐slinging that distracts us from the work at hand – the needs of our students

and staff,” says Poole.

UEA holds candidates to high
