As we're all getting to know our Acting Superintendent of Norfolk Public schools, I find something very familiar about him. It's more than just the fact that he is boldly presenting the ousted man's visions (solid ideas, publicly rejected by the board) as his own. It's a mindset coming from the man, Mike Spencer, who instituted all the policies that criminalize our students: cell phone bans, interruption of classroom teaching time for random and unfounded searches and pepper spray. It makes me take Umberidge.
