At the last School Board meeting several speakers, including Board member Ann Wasson, shamed and bad mouthed Gary Glass who sat quietly as the abuse was heaped on him. This came after the obligatory caution from Chair Nancy Nilsen about how “civility” would be demanded at the meeting. But after the meeting got under way Chair Nilsen made no attempt to remind speakers that personally abusing a school board member was verboten.
Later, after the anger and scorn had spent itself, Nancy said with a giggle, “Oh we really shouldn’t be doing this.”
Tim Grover, my old friend and now foe, apologized for this rank behavior privately to the wife of a former School Board member who had attended the meeting. This woman has a particular interest in the Red Plan right now because her home is being taken through the eminent domain process which the District hid from view during last year’s school board elections.
She opposes the Red Plan. She must hate children too.
