To the Editor,

I am writing this letter in support of Korinda Wallace for Dayton School Board District.

It has been my pleasure to work with Ms. Wallace since this last spring as we organized the Columbia County Conservatives. Ms. Wallace moved here from rural Oregon where she grew up, to take jobs related to her degree in horticulture from OSU. Coming from a small town she understands the need to become involved in the local community she lives in order to keep it strong.

While she is home schooled, I feel this gives Ms. Wallace the understanding of what an education free from institutional biases and with high standards should be. Reading, writing and arithmetic should take precedence over political ideology and agendas, and if any agenda should be pushed then it should conform to what RCW 28A.405.030 says;

Must teach morality and patriotism.

"It shall be the duty of all teachers to endeavor to impress on the minds of their pupils the principles of morality, truth, justice, temperance, humanity and patriotism; to teach them to avoid idleness, profanity and falsehood; to instruct them in the principles of free government, and to train them up to the true comprehension of the rights, duty and dignity of American citizenship."

Ms. Wallace, is a true conservative who loves her country and community and wants to serve it where she feels she can be most beneficial. Please join me in voting for Korinda Wallace for School Board this November.
