Nah. I don’t feel sorry for them. Not when they push their hatred into the schools. They defame good teachers and librarians, they malign kids who aren’t their exact image, and they seek to turn public schools into their own publicly funded Christian schools. I don’t care if they never get the help they need quite frankly. That’s not my battle. I just want them to stop targeting our schools and our kids. (Caveat: I am a school board member who has been in the local chapters cross hairs for nearly two years. Fun times)

It was really weird. Like all of a sudden, hey, we’re gonna do permanent daylight saving time in a year. Did they check with municipalities? Sleep experts? Businesses? Schools? Having it nearly always dark when kids are at bus stops and walking to school? Not smart. Having people commute in the dark? More accidents. I’d rather see permanent standard time myself…

PSBA is finally pushing out some “revised” policies that reiterate what a board should and should not do. But I agree they can be a lot more helpful. Push out emails to us reminding us… giving guidance on how ti handle unruly public comments, etc. Our board president is reluctant to enforce rules for public comment and also for board discussion (like, off topic, save that for “new business” etc) because of the immediate backlash we’ll get from the small yet very vocal group of Mastriano supporters. I’m the only one to call “point of order” and ask presiding officer to enforce rules. When I do, he does, but damn it’s a circus out there. I worry about the kids, the teachers, the administration. District is getting dragged down and I want all parents to wake up.

Oh, you’d be shocked how stupid, narrow minded and outright hateful school board directors can be. Historically school board elections are dull… people really didn’t pay attention to who’s running, and with support just from their like-minded friends, these creeps get seated and wreck havoc and work to create the district they want… basically a conservative Christian ‘public’ school. Yeah,I’m a school board member and get to hear from Moms for Liberty at every meeting. And several of my newer fellow board members do M4L’s bidding. People need to wake up.
