Whom a school board member serves often is a matter of personal preference.

Cut border guards a break

In February 2005, Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean opened fire in Fabens, Texas, on a fleeing drug smuggler they believed was armed. Though wounded, the suspect escaped. Aware of the lack of political and judicial resolve against illegal immigration and drug smuggling, the agents tried to cover up the shooting. They were tried and found guilty on several counts; prosecutors gave the smuggler, Osvaldo Aldrete-Davila, immunity to testify against the agents. Mr. Ramos was sentenced to 11 years in prison; Mr. Compean, 12.
