School board should listen

I’ve been attending the Jay County School Board meetings this summer and I’m amazed there is absolutely no “shock” but plenty of “awe” at the power that sets among them at the table. At one meeting a group of band parents voiced their concerns and disapproval of how the discipline and punishment was handled at band camp.

Also the school bus drivers were on the agenda to inform the board of the complete breakdown of communication between them and the administration due to rumors and lies.

Only board member Mr. Champ tried to open a discussion on these problems but was soon shut up. Evidently both items were swept under the rug and stomped on. There has been no publicity otherwise.

When asked of a politician how one gets started in a political career, most will say you run and be elected to your local school board. The third article of our Constitution Bill of Rights reads: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. As expected, now-a-days, the U.S. Congress displayed no “shock” but plenty of “awe” at the power of an activist liberal Federal Judge to prohibit the state of Alabama the free exercise thereof. This is one example how our Congress is allowing our Constitution to be stomped on. My opinion: Members of Congress are as worthless at teats on a bull moose.

But then, most of them started as a school board member.
