Its too bad it doesn&#8217;t work the other way round.<\/p>\n<p>School Board member Gary Glass has alarmed some parents so much for taking a picture of a school choir performing at a school board meeting that they&#8217;ve turned it into a federal case.  It ranks right up there with the Norshore Theater&#8217;s Gentleman&#8217;s Club. Mr. Glass will have no alternative now but to commit suicide.<\/p>\n<p>Parents of East High&#8217;s accapella choir, the Choraliers, had the choir&#8217;s director, Mr. Upton, send a paranoid email to the School Board demanding to know for what reason Mr. Glass took a picture of the choir during its public performance at a School Board meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Good Question and I&#8217;m certainly glad no one simply called Gary to find out. Better to fan the flames of paranoia with a public email. <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps Glass was going to use the photo in his futile three-year quest to give Duluth a vote on the half billion dollar Red Plan (<em>Shudder<\/em>) which has led to the decimation of the school district&#8217;s music program. Maybe he was going to post the photo on a porn site. There&#8217;s no telling to what nefarious purpose the 68-year old Glass might have put the photo. Perhaps the Board ought to pass a policy forbidding anyone from taking photos at school district events. Oh, I forgot. School Board policies are not enforceable.<\/p>\n<p>For those readers who are worried about child endangerment I&#8217;m going to reveal the photo another school board member took of the<strong> ENTIRE<\/strong> East Choir in 1999 and which was shockingly posted on the Internet two years later.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.snowbizz.com\/images\/personalphotos\/WTradeCntr1999.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nI took the picture in 1999.
