Boundary County has been cheated

| October 8, 2009 9:00 PM

In my opinion all the student of Boundary County were cheated. Cheated big time!

The school board claimed they did not have time to hand out permission slips for students to be able to hear the speech from,  President Obama.  Yet they had enough time to contact everyone else as to not to air the President’s address tot the nation on education.

I thought this board and the superintendent considered the President’s speech to be controversial.  Did they have a preview of what was to be said?   I think not.  Very lame at most, in my opinion.

There seems to be a particular smell or odor about the whole affair.  Sort of like political odor or racial odor to everything.

The parents of Boundary County should demand that the school board and superintendent obtain a tape of the President’s speech and air the entire address on education for the students to hear.  These students were denied the opportunity to form their own opinion.

What is education all about these days?  Do a select few dictate who should and who should not be able to listen to a President’s speech.

If this board and superintendent cannot promote education in an unbiased fashion, then maybe they should be replaced.

The tax ayers are also being cheated by this current board.  It is your children that are being deprived of a complete education because of lame excuses.

I for one believe this was a complete atrocity, and would vote to remove this entire group.
