I loved Sunana Batra's opinion piece in the North County Times (previous post), so I looked her up. I discovered that Sunana and I are usually miles apart.
I agreed with Sunana's analysis of the antics of Victoria Richart and the majority MiraCosta trustees, but my guess is that Sunana won't attack Stutz, Artiano, Shinoff & Holtz, the lawyers who conducted the MiraCosta circus. After all, conservative favorite Leslie Devaney is a partner of the firm, along with Daniel Shinoff.
Here's what Sunana has written in the past.
First, an article from the North County Times posted on Free Republic on 12/06/2007.

New law (SB 777) tests the limits of tolerance

New law tests the limits of tolerance
By: SUNANA BATRA - Commentary:
I can't help but shake my head at the misguided parents who have once again drunk the California Teachers Association's Kool-Aid and see a new law meant to protect homosexual and transgender students (Senate Bill 777 ) as just another nice attempt to make sure no student is ever made to feel uncomfortable. They are the clueless frogs just getting comfortable in the warmth of a cozy bath that makes them feel oh so good and tolerant.
And, as in the parable, it won't be long before that warm bath soon becomes lava as their sons are forced to practice the "egg as a baby" exercise -- meant to foster an understanding of shared responsibility, relationships and cooperation -- not with a girl classmate but with Johnny...
The irony is stinging as we consider reports from Temecula of a student who fled her classroom in tears after her teacher, betraying tolerance herself, allegedly called Christians "out of control" and "prejudiced."
...As is fashionable across America these days, Christians are the first to be marginalized...
[Maura Larkins' note: We do have marginalized people in America, but Christians are not among them, unless they belong to another group that is actually marginalized.]

Sunana Batra's Report from the Lincoln Club
The following is a great write up Sunana Batra did for Red County on Mike Murphy's presentation to the Lincoln Club last nite....
Crazy times demand crazy leadership.
by Sunana Batra
A frequent speaker on elections and politics, Mike Murphy's keynote speech to the 24th annual Lincoln Club Christmas party was tremendous. After reading a few of his Backseat driving columns from the '04 election, I was expecting a few zingers from a guy who's got a great knack for brilliantly employing very visual metaphors that stay with you and I was not disappointed. Mike grabbed the audience's attention with his witty, at times cutting and insightful comments.
He suggested this year's election is a classic "wrong track" election, where the voters are demanding change and predicted Obama actually might win the nomination.
...The fact that Romney, who is very strong, comes off as too perfect and that his family appears to be out of a Sears catalog, perfect in every way, with no ugly children. (Crowd laughs.)
...He also added that we've got a great shot particularly if the Democrats keep being this cocky. "After all they're Democrats, so that means they are our secret weapon." (Crowd laughs again.)
...(footnote - 1. Mike Murphy had joked that he had written a letter to Dennis Kucinich, saying he had moved to his cause and had written him a possible slogan, "Crazy times demand crazy leadership," but got nothing back. I thought that was hilarious! (I'm from Cleveland and Kucinich was my Mayor when I was a kid. - SB)
