These Aren’t the Activists You’re Looking For: Tom Bartlett
By Tom Bartlett
I remember cringing when the Waterloo School Superintendent, Gregg Bereznick insisted that school personnel were in fact “co-parents.” The context for such “fatal attraction” level hubris was in connection with the strip searching of a father and apprehension of his children after his school authorities eyeballed his daughter’s school drawing of a gun.
