Maybe we should have used a pickaxe?

We promised school district officials that we'd provide a link to this video, which three PSTV workers spent part of their day (and your taxpayer dollars) working on.

Maybe we should have used a pickaxe?

We promised school district officials that we'd provide a link to this video, which three PSTV workers spent part of their day (and your taxpayer dollars) working on.

It's video of Dr. Will Jordan, an associate professor of urban education at Temple University, adding onto the district's onslaught against the Daily News for our cover today highlighting the massacre of school services coming as the district deals with hundreds of millions of cuts from Gov. Corbett.

If you missed it, someone from the district spent a few hours today going at the DN on Twitter from the district's Twitter account. Feeling our honor being attacked, we couldn't help but fight back.

    A total non-answer! He never mentions the apparent SDP policy of discouraging reporting violent incidents. Who paid him?

    Keep up the good work DN and Inq. We who work for SDP really appreciate you investigating and writing the truth.

    Hopefully they didn't pay him for his time.

    I don't see the Chainsaw connected to human massacre. The chainsaw is for cutting the budget. What's violent about that? Wow, what a huge overreaction by the SDP's Associate Superintendent of Twitter.
