Ritter’s Metro State decision misguided
I was disappointed to read that Gov. Bill Ritter decided not to renew Bruce Benson’s board position at Metro State (“GOP angry at ouster of Benson from board,” May 3).
I am not a Republican, but I am a father of four with a significant stake in Colorado’s education system. I am also a grateful recipient of business mentoring from the likes of Benson and others — all talented and tireless contributors to Colorado on countless fronts.
Accordingly, the arbitrary decision not to renew Benson could only be matched in abject stupidity if the Avalanche decided there are too many Canadians on the team, and used that reasoning to trade away Joe Sakic.
With more experience, I’m sure Ritter will learn that partisanship and education should not ride together if actual education is the goal. In time the governor might also realize that the state needs more volunteerism and resources from people like Bruce Benson, and not less.

Alex you have to remember that only socalist far left liberal democrates know anything about education and the indoctrnation of kids to their ideas. Any one else is viewed as a trouble maker
