Attacks on Kaneshiki have gone too far

The attacks on Lois Kaneshiki are out of hand.

Disagreeing with anyone in a position, such as school board member, are not uncommon. Many are upset with our county commissioners over reassessment, but I have yet to see demonstrations at the courthouse.

Kaneshiki is a dedicated woman with strong feelings about issues like taxes and the education of our children. This is why she finds herself on the Hollidaysburg Area School Board.

Her opinions are genuine and can be disagreed with like anyone else’s.

But disagreements need not be taken any further than the ballot box.

If you don’t like her decisions, don’t vote for her. Dragging her through the mud with demeaning letters to the editor and demonstrations at meetings is ridiculous.

When you involve yourself in community issues, you risk upsetting people who don’t see eye to eye with you. That comes with the job.

But Kaneshiki’s dedication to her principles, her drive to keep lower taxes and improve our community should not meet the kind of pushback some have displayed against her.
