In his latest post to his blog, inspirED Dr.Culver states,
" The most inspiring thing was how respectful and thoughtful these students were, even when questioning things with which they did not necessarily agree. I could envision these young people becoming adults engaged with their community and able to gain information and press their viewpoints in a civil, articulate, and informed way. "One resident gas commented: "Hmmmmm...who is he trying to kid? That approach simply does not work in this school district..."
For shame!!! Warping comments from the district's students to concoct his own message? Who's demonstrating bad form now, eh Tim?
Hey! We have one for you! We can play this game, too.
While engaging in a brief discussion with a student selling fundraiser items door-to-door, we were amazed at how properly the young gentleman conducted himself. He answered each of our questions about the wares he was selling truthfully, and candidly. When he didn't know the answer he said so, and promised to find out. When lesser quality features of his product were pointed out, he didn't try to pass blame on to someone else. Most importantly, I'm sure this lad could have lied to us...but he didn't. He could have feigned lack of knowledge...but he didn't. He chose the path of full, candid, and respectful disclosure. And so we were sold.
We can envision this young man growing up to be a fine addition to this or any community. He demonstrates the qualities necessary to be a true leader...perhaps a school board member.

We wonder if the folks behind the infamous (RED) campaign are a little annoyed that Tim's coming very close to their tagline?
Musings #2. Some suggest the capitalized suffix of the blog title may be another subliminal reference.
