Keepin It Up

It’s been a long while since I last posted.  It’s been long because nothing really inspires me to write or comment much any more.

I posted about that dumb shit who entered my kids classroom and basically harassed my 5th grade (at the time) son back last year.  A similar incident happened in a community close by in which a school board member threatened a young man on the basketball team by telling him that if he didn’t stop what he called “harassing” his daughter, he would use his position as the school board Vice President to get him kicked off the basketball team ( the SB  VP actually texted the threat).  Apparently this kid wasn’t harassing the guys daughter and he told his coach about the threat who in turn informed the superintendent.  It was brought out in a school board meeting and this out of control member got censored, was told not to make contact with ANY student in the school system and lost his  position as school board VP.  The local paper thought it important enough to report it in the paper.  There had already been another situation where he used his position to get his daughter reinstated to the cheer leading squad after she quit whaich was apparently against school  rules.  The last I heard, the school board was discussing further actions against this member.

If you read my earlier post about our  SB member gone wild, you’ll see that my situation was not  much different except for the response.  To go a step further, instead of offering up real punishment for this out of control school board member, our folks here in Danville instead elect him to another 5 year board term, hire another one of his relatives (remember his wife was the science teacher) and the school board nominates and positions him as the school board vice president, which further goes to this ass holes head.  Needless to say,  we’re packing up and going elsewhere.  I personally campaigned for his opponent in the last election, told my story to whoever would listen and all in all, it meant nothing and folks around here even joked about it.

I’ve said all along, when you are sick, you have symptoms.  If you have a stomach ache, vomiting and diarrhea usually follow as a symptom.  In our community, racism and apathy are the sickness and Brad Reddin, the current Danville School Board Vice President is the vomiting and diarrhea.
