This man is obviously not qualified and appears to be an opponent of public education.

Please consider how doctors would feel if a similar appointment were made to the medical board....please treat the AL SBOE with more respect as it is supposed to be a voice for our students and our educators. #educationvotes

I voted for Gov Bentley and I'm so disappointed.

He is strictly out for his own self interest

Gov. Bentley, there is no shortage of qualified people in the state with extensive experience in education, who would have the best interest of Alabama's students and schools at heart. Mr. Brown's lack of experience and evident disdain for the public schools makes his appointment questionable, at best.

This man is not the answer to the problems facing Baldwin County schools!

Gov. Bentley, As a resident of Baldwin County, a father of three children in public schools, and an educator, I urge you to please remove Matthew Brown from the State Board of Education. He has no qualifications for the position, and has openly worked to defund public education in the state. There are certainly many more qualified individuals who could serve in this post. It is an insult to those of us in South Alabama who value education to be represented by someone in such an important post who in both so totally unqualified for the position and who does not put the interests of the children as a priority

It is unconscionable to appoint someone who disdains public education to the State School Board. Rescind the appointment and don't use children as political pawns.

Choose a supporter of public schools who has had some experience with them.

This appointment is an insult to all parents who send their children to public schools! "A different perspective"? Really!?

I have a great idea. How about choosing someone who actually knows something about public education. Let's use some common sense, please.

His kids are in private school and he opposes funding of public schools; stop the politics and get out of the gutter Gov.

The Board of Education needs members who are qualified and support quality public education. Please reconsider this appointment.
