The N&O Editorial staff hits another homer:
Moonlighting as a commentator on television or as a current-affairs blogger, as has been his practice, would not be a good fit with his new job. And yet, the school board majority that hired Tata - a bloc aligned with area Republicans - appears to have put no such limits on his activities. So he should give them up voluntarily.
Anthony Tata can make one of his first important decisions as superintendent before he even gets here at the end of January, by saying he will be giving up the pancake makeup and the hot lights and the blogging keyboard to focus on the very big job ahead.
Might need to curtail his booksigning tours as well, unless his next novel is titled Budget Threat.
In case you're wondering about the title:
I know too many generals and admirals
Several of my Academy classmates made it to flag rank in the Marines and Navy. The idea that any of them would be a suitable leader for a large county school system is laughable, as is the case with Tata. They are all legends in their own minds.
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.
