The Fort Smith School Board and its Protection Racket
The deflection is in full battle mode. May 25, 2016
Three days of whining, sniveling, & in a number of cases out right mendacities offered up by F.S. school district coaches and one fellow, Bobby Aldridge, who made some veiled indirect accusations pertaining to my son. Question: what is Bobby Aldridge’s stake in this game that precipitated such a spurious verbal outburst?
These coaches make my case, just government automatons. The protestations by the coaches & Aldridge have nothing to do with the real issues…the removal of Johnny Reb, Dixie, and all things Southern.
The real original issue is the miscreate conduct by the 2015 F.S. School Board, led by Deannie Mehl and Superintendent Benny Gooden, not Coach Rowland (who was never attacked by Joey who had nothing but love & respect for the coach…and every one of you standing in the line know that to be the God’s truth)
The removal of the Mascot & school song was conducted in secrecy without one iota of public discussion and Gooden’s only defense was “perception” of “racism”, never facts, objective discussions or truth injected into their surreptitious conduct.
This public melodrama regarding Rowland is simply a deflection from the real issues, i.e. the 154 yr old Lincoln cover-up, hypocrisy, and the nefarious conduct of the 2015 School Board & Superintendent.
Their chicanery and perhaps criminal conduct is no model for the students of the FS school district and their refusal to objectively discuss the subject and instead throwing incendiaries is their only defense.
If you hold a winning hand, you don’t quit, e.g. Gooden & Rowland.
