This was a bad move Dr.-Governor...he is NOT the right person for the job...he does not have the experience nor is he the right person to support public education in Alabama....we have dealt with this individual in Baldwin County before....quit wasting our tax dollars and do Your job.....

As an educator in Alabama for now twenty years, we and the children we support every day would appreciate a State Board of Education board member with the appropriate credentials and experience, not Matthew Brown. Thank you, Overly concerned taxpayer

I have grandkids and I want the very best for them. According to what I've read this is not what we need.

It is one thing to appoint a lesser qualified candidate as a political move. But to appoint a very young, inexperienced home school, anti-education funding Tea Partier is mind blowing. Mr. Brown is uniquely ill-suited for the position. It is analogous to appointing a Baptist Protestant to the Board of the Catholic Archdiocese. Mr. Brown may be a nice guy, qualified to serve on a home school board, or Operation Rescue. But this appointment is incredulous. This appointment is so awful, the real question is why was such a horrible appointment made in the first place. I doubt our news reporters will investigate that one.

If it is decided to keep Matthen Brown then please offer a full explanation for why each concern raised wasn't sufficient to withdraw his appointment.

This is a slap in the face of every educator in the State of Alabama.

This man is not qualified to be on the Alabama State Board of Education. We need someone who supports money for education...not someone who votes against it!!

Matt Brown is the most unqualified to a public school board ever. Let him run his Christian School.... if they would want him!

Double hit to public education. Pittman gets his anti-public school acolyte payback for stopping the tax increase for Baldwin County, Meanwhile, Bentley gets a vote to merge the education trust fund with the general fund so they can more easily defund public education. Both a local and state wide double whammy.
