Letter: Support Vancouver school levy

By Jeff Newport, Vancouver

I am so saddened to see the “Vote No for VPS” signs as I drive through the community. When I read the “data” on the signs, I see that it is one more example of how the Big Lie has morphed into a million little lies, all believed by MAGA supporters.

Teachers do difficult, important work every day. They deserve our support as do the students for whom they work. While reading the signs I did chuckle a bit over the “test scores,” given that a small percentage of MAGA folks are college graduates, and, like Donald, probably don’t read. I suspect that many that do have a college diploma got it from the Trump University of Fake Knowledge.

So, please vote “yes” for VPS. Stand up for kids and teachers.
