In my 28 years as an elected official in Oakland first as an Oakland Unified School District board member and now as a city council member one of the many things I’ve learned is that I can’t tell my constituents what to do. I don’t tell them where to go to church. I don’t tell them where to buy groceries. And I especially don’t tell them where they should send their children to school. My constituents tell me what they need in their community, and it’s my job to help make those needs a reality.
