Yoon today claims the Globe is misrepresenting his stance on a return to an elected school committee, that he only said we should talk about whether we should bring it back.
As Adam Reilly notes, Yoon should really be careful claiming he never said something like that when he said stufff like that in his campaign announcement, the one he thoughtfully posted on YouTube:
In order to become the Boston that we know we can be, we have to be willing to face our problems head on, and be willing to be bold, innovative, creative. And we need to talk. We need to talk about what it would mean to go back to an elected school committee. At a time when our schools are facing the largest budget shortfall they've ever seen, we have to question whether an appointed school committee--appointed solely by the mayor--can truly be the educational advocates we need them to be.
Now, yes, technically, Yoon did not say "Elected School Committee. Let's get one. Now." But he sure sounds like that's the direction he's fancying.
