“I believe that the “Professor Johnson Success Image Career Posters” are going to be a wonderful benefit to the children of this county and to the community at large. They give children an idea of themselves being successful later on in life and give them a positive view of themselves. They also provide badly needed positive and diverse role models so that children can aspire to something higher than themselves. I think they will go a long ways to shaping children into the productive and educated citizens that we need for a functioning democracy. I support Bill Hoatson in his to enhance the education of our children.”
