As I stated above, Polly does send her son to school in Sheffield, and her daughter did go to school in Sheffield until she was approached to attend the magnet school.

Polly and her husband didn't go out and apply for a position at this school. They were approached by the school.

It's not like she and her husband decided to send their kids to some uppity private school in the neighboring county. Her son attends school in Sheffield, and so did her daughter until she got this amazing opportunity.

Of course Polly wants kids to attend Sheffield schools. If she didn't believe that, she wouldn't be serving on the school board. But at the same time, if you were given the opportunity to send your child to either the University of North Alabama or a school like Harvard, wouldn't you send them to Harvard?

And, besides, this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with being District Court Judge.


Thanks for repeating yourself. I won't bother. It is laughable for to you to try and convince someone that Polly Ruggles was lobbied by the school for her child to attend. Everyone is requested to submit applications based on their website. I'm sure the school was proud to extend an invite to anyone able or interested in paying upwards of $34,000 a year for their child to have the prestige of being an alumni. I would also bet Sheffield schools could use that kind of monetary opportunity in their classrooms. But I'm sure she is aware of that being Vice President of the school board. So, if her serving on the school board makes no difference in the campaign then why use does she need to use it as part of her qualifications platform?


I didn't say that being on the school board didn't have anything to do with being a judge. I said that where her daughter goes to school doesn't have anything to do with being a judge. A higher court has never overturned a ruling by a lower court because the judge's daughter went to a magnet school for a couple of years.

But her experience on the school board, as well as her experience handling child support cases in the district attorney's office and her everyday experience as a mom, make her uniquely qualified to be a district court judge, because the district court judge has to handle a lot of family and juvenile cases.

As far as the school recruiting her daughter goes, these schools always ask parents of gifted children to send their kids to their schools. And they often offer these students scholarships to do so. I never said that Polly and her husband didn't pay tuition. But her daughter was recruited by the school. They did not approach the school.

So tell us, immolate99, why is some guy (or woman) from Birmingham so interested in a Colbert county district judge's race? Who are you working for? I know that Tina Parker went to law school in Birmingham, and Chad Coker has hired political consultants from Birmingham. Are you working for one of them?
