FNP for Vendetta?

Either the Frederick News-Post has massively incompetent editors, or it has a vendetta against Frederick County Public Schools (or possibly a combination of the two).

Over the past few years, the paper of record in Frederick has published stories that because they lack all the facts, seem to make FCPS look bad (the story about FCPS saying it wouldn't do immigration checks comes to mind).  However, today's paper (since corrected on the webpage), ran a headline saying the school board approved a decision that was actually voted on by the county commissioners.  The decision essentially gives the developers in the county the right to develop anywhere even if there are not adequate public facilities like roads and schools by paying a mitigation fee.  Unfortunately, paying fees does not guarantee that the infrastructure will be upgraded.  Knowing this board of commissioners, the money will probably go to more short-sighted privatization studies.  Even though a few weeks ago the BOE voted unanimously to oppose this policy, the editor put the wrong board in the headline.  Either this is a subconscious response to the institutional bias against the public schools at the FNP, or is the height of incompetence for the editor.  Either way, I would hope the editor (a term I can only use loosely at this point) suffers at least a suspension with pay.  I'm not too sure this isn't a firing offense.  Imagine, sending out 40,000 newspapers with the wrong headline.  On the bright side, I think I have a nice scenario for a word problem at the Frederick County Academic Tournament next winter.

So, yeah, I can't say that I miss living in Frederick County right now.
