Letter: Which is worse: Nepotism, ignorance?

It is just now occurring to the school board that the hiring of the superintendent's wife is completely unethical?

I'm not sure which is worse, the blatant nepotism or the ignorance of the school board. Wow.

How are our children supposed to learn about good moral behavior when their school leaders choose unethical behavior? We lead by example every day. The example learned is that the rules of hiring can be changed by our superintendent, he can create a position and then hire his own wife. And the school board he works for and has to answer to says nothing?

I am stunned.
