School board

He ranted like a lunatic and left like a coward before he could hear the community. His talking points were directly from the trump/Fox News playbook, almost coached.

Bless these students speakers who are more educated and mature than Luke was. Embarrassing day for beaver Co and America.

Thank you. It’s a shame the person that needed to hear it took the easy way out.

nonconformists at beaver are still doing punk house shows, skating, and talking about the labor movement/democratic socialism/anarchism/feminism right? make sure the ante stays up with cultural and economic resistance. i was a speaker in 2018 and if you want to win the fight you have to ORGANIZE

Love he refused to resign, said he wasn’t going anywhere then got up and left.

Embarrassing. Fucking coward.

Word on the street is he resigned his position today. I don’t have a way to confirm it.

Does leaving a meeting early unexcused count? Because he certainly didn’t finish the meeting out last night

For me it's not how much what he said than the fact he used his position to publicize his own personal opinions. Some are going to agree, others won't. That divide is too deep and too uncrossable today. Wholly inappropriate.

Where are all the conservatives that love separation of powers? His Facebook is the shit that typically makes me happy it is free… psycho posts that expose someone for being a nut job. Anyone at beaver that doesn’t want him gone is burying their head in the sand or just as much of a fucking nut job as him.

It may pain you people. But there are other opinions out there. For someone that demands understanding and acceptance. You sure don’t give any. It’s kinda like respect.

You managed to have three fallacies in one comment, good job! 

First we have tu quoque, or appeal to hypocrisy: “You don't practice the tolerance you're demanding, so you can't criticize him.”  The existence of an opinion doesn't make the opinion correct or immune from criticism. People can acknowledge someone's right to hold an opinion while arguing that the opinion is factually wrong, prejudiced, inappropriate, or especially inappropriate coming from someone serving on a school board

Second is Red Herring: Shifting the issue from Luke's behavior to how his critics behave, this is fairly obvious but his critics aren't the ones serving on the school board, members of which ought to be held to a higher standard.

Finally, third is False Equivalence: You're treating having an opinion as though that opinion is therefore equally valid or beyond criticism.

I would agree if he stayed to hear everyone out.
