Editor,

At the 2025 San Mateo County annual Civics 101 Academy, a nine-week program covering county departments, public safety and finance, I first met, connected with, and was impressed by another regular attendee, Hector Camacho.

Sorry, Mr. Handerson, but I can’t imagine anyone who is a director of Equity, Social Justice and Inclusion is going to make a good superintendent, among other things. Vote for anyone except Camacho else you can count on kids continuing to not being able to meet academic, or any, standards. Would we see (and I’d hope I’d be wrong), if Camacho were elected, a continuation of biological boys invading biological girl safe spaces? In the name of equity, social justice and inclusion, of course. I don’t think anyone wants the change that Hector represents.

There are no "marginalized communities" in the United States of America. There are communities in which the people may have different colored skin or speak a different language or have different income levels but that doesn't make them "marginalized." By labeling people and communities allows them to make excuses as to why they may not do as well in certain facets of life. Perhaps it's time to uplift people and let them know they live in the "Land of Opportunity", that they are incredibly blessed to live in the USA and that they can achieve anything as long as they are willing to work hard. Visit china, India, Africa etc... if you want to see true poverty.

Mr. Handerson loves to keep his neighbors in the marginalized category. That way, he and Camacho can control them and their lack of aspiration. Of course, more fraud and waste will follow for programs that only line the pockets of these community organizers while leaving the marginalized out in the cold whose tasks it will be to place campaign signs for those who pretend to be on their side.

Here is my question about the "marginalized"?

For decades San Mateo Democrats are taking statistics about "race" in their school districts, which purely by definition of the term can absolutely be called "racist" or "racialist".

Of course these guys are claiming that they only keep those - clearly racist - statistics in order to help the "marginalized".

But over 60 years after MLK's "I have a Dream" speech, Democrats still haven't achieved ANY of their "equity" and "equality" goals.

If someone is collecting "racist" stats for over 60 years with no positive outcome, maybe they weren't collecting these stats for the good. Maybe the Board of Education has always been using these numbers against the "marginalized".
