February 1, 1861 Texas was the 7th state in the Confederacy to secede by a vote 166-8. Was the vote for slavery or independence?…do the research.
Were you ever apprised of the fact in your public school experiences that a black man was the largest slave owner in South Carolina during the period of 1858 to 1865 with over 200 slaves? He was only one of many black slave owners. Are Gooden & the Fort Smith teaching community aware of these facts or are they members of 154 year old Lincoln cover-up—neither position is acceptable.
Just to cite two little known historical facts.
Superintendent Gooden, in a veiled threat admonished teachers to vote for the two incumbents running for reelection for positions on the Fort Smith School Board.
One can only conclude that Gooden feels very comfortable that these two and the rest of the sycophants on the Board will continue to carry out his jaded agenda, and maybe more than jaded.
