Yes!!! I’m certainly glad my kids gave graduated a few years back. This is ridiculous!!
Folks…we need to start really looking at these school board members at election time! Go Ye Sun for speaking out!
Remember, Board members are elected positions. As each Board member comes up for re-election, a concerned parent needs to step up and run. That will net change. With enough Board members, The Superintendent may be changed as well. If they are expecting a lot of public comments at meetings, they have to apply limits or they would never get anything else done. Same at commission meetings. Difficult to talk unless you have advance planning.
I agree on the organization of the meetings. Conducting them in a town hall atmosphere is chaos. It isn’t unreasonable to ask 24 hrs notice on desire to speak.
Never a big fan of removing things from libraries.
I agree. I am also not a fan of school leaders permitting legally obscene material that would otherwise be a felony if not for the library exception within the GA Obscenity Law into school libraries for minors to have access.
