Is this a case in which the school bully isn&#8217;t in the school yard, but is the school?<\/p>\n<p>I suspect that most residents of the District don&#8217;t want the District to do whatever it can, but want the District to do what is reasonable.  I suspect that Harry Truman would agree that if members of the Board can&#8217;t tolerate the criticism about which they apparently are concerned, they should stay out of the kitchen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one email that got through to the School Board.
