Karen Carson, Fifth District Member and Vice Chair of the Knox County School Board has sent a communication to the Knox County Redistricting Committee asking even pleading that they not separate neighborhoods in any redistricting plans. In her communication (which is below in it's entirety) she even throws the Town of Farragut residents and Commissioner Briggs proposal under the bus. The Chief Hypocrite said, ..."as you look at these proposals and their impact on our community you will attempt to put keeping neighborhoods together before keeping any towns together."
Now, here's the deal. This from the school board leader that not only split neighborhoods and towns. But split families in her high school redistricting plan from just a year or so ago. Everyone that didn't fall into the "grandfathering" clause of the redistricting plan got screwed by the Chief Hypocrite Carson.
