Justin Nichols was high school senior,
he challenged Alan Bird, the oldest and
most respected member of the PISD board. The The idea of a student on the board
was intriguing. I interviewed
him for KQUIPS. I found him hard right
on all issues, but open-minded on sex
education. He said that he was a born-
again Christian who had chosed abstin-
ence. I told him that KQUIPS did not
care about his personal choices, just
policies. He agreed with us that kids

well in the interview and at the KQUIPS
forum, where he was accompanied by a poised
young lady.
KQUIPS gave its endorsement to Alan
Bird, based on his long and excellent
record. But Nichols' combination of
teenage ultra-conservatism and open-
mindedness on kids' need for sex ed
left a lasting impression.
This is a young man who will go far.
It is sad that he was seduced by the
siren of the far right. He would have made
a pretty good libertarian. ]]> http://www.baumbach.org/b2evolution/blogs/index.php/2008/04/01/dmn_collin_county_officials_won_t_review#c401
