Transcript of the segment

What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: New York Post.

  1. Gloria VanceAs promised, here is who really won a school election.

  2. Gloria VanceA Santa Barbara elementary principal, Arielle Curry, is on administrative leave over allegations that she rigged a student vote so her own daughter would win.

  3. Kenji MoonfieldThe New York Post calls it a shocking abuse of power, and I'd say the ballot box had one job.

  4. Gloria VanceNothing is proven, and Ms. Curry has not been convicted of anything.

  5. Gloria VanceBut the allegation is that the person who ran the election also had a candidate in it.

  6. Kenji MoonfieldSo she was the referee, the scoreboard and the mom in the stands.

  7. Gloria VanceI have observed elections in countries where the ruling family counted the votes. At least those families had the decency to be embarrassed.

  8. Kenji MoonfieldElementary school. The campaign promises were probably extra recess and a pizza Friday.

  9. Gloria VanceAnd a second recount of the glue sticks. The district has not said what happens next, only that she is off the job.

  10. Kenji MoonfieldImagine losing to the principal's kid.

  11. Gloria VanceImagine the concession speech. Eight years old, and already learning how institutions work.

  12. Kenji MoonfieldChat, rate the worst thing you did to win a school election, one to ten. I'll start: I bribed with fun-size candy.

  13. Gloria VanceThat is a confession, Kenji, and I am required to note it. Brock, is there any weather that can wash this story away?
