All right people of Jefferson County, it’s time to calm down.
Today brought the news that threats have been made against the children of some of the Jefferson County school board members on the heels of disagreements over changes to teacher pay and curriculum.
Students began protesting changes to their curriculum on Monday and have been at it for four days now. Though, many of them aren’t sure what they’re protesting and are just happy to be skipping class. Students also seem to be misinformed about the board’s final decision regarding the proposal to change their curriculum – it was ultimately tabled and has not been approved.
Fifty teachers also staged a sick out last Friday that led to schools cancelling classes.
All of these theatrics – and make no mistake, that is what’s happening – are no doubt backed and encouraged by union thugs and sympathizers. But enough is enough. The situation has escalated to an utterly ridiculous level and is officially out of control.
Parents and teachers need to take the reins, so these kids can actually go back to getting an education. And whatever idiot thought it would be a good idea to threaten someone’s child over a policy disagreement deserves to be put in jail.
Luke Brandon This story is in error as well and is part of my frustration. It seems once something is reported it is taken as factual as reproduced without checking accuracy. There are many video clips of 'many' students who do not really know why they are protesting. So that part seems to be true. Heck 'many' of the reporters don't even know what the protests are about.
What exactly makes this a reputable media source relative to the other ones? I read it, sounds like a bit of a rant, and it assumes that "many" of the students don't even know what they are protesting. While this maybe the case I would say it's not something that can be judged factual without some evidence. Just sayin.
Man I wish the media would get it right. The Curriculum has already changed. The Board wants to review the changes. The Media is responsible for much of this Chaos. Start reporting the facts.
Ask Regan Benson about similar threats on her children. She could write a book about this.
