Wheatland School Board Meeting Tonight

for Wheaterville

Ah, the Ides of March. Dig into your high school freshman memories. In 44 BC Julius Caesar was stabbed on the steps of the Roman Senate. Not a good day for Caesar.

Will the Ides of March 2010 be a good day for the Wheatland School Board? Will they "succeed" at confirming that yes indeed, Wheatland Is A Place For Hate? Or will concerned Platte County citizens and WHS students show up to try once again to talk sense into their closed little minds? What Would Jesus Do? He'd grab his dad's hammer and put those banners up himself.

Tonight's school board meeting starts at 7pm, at the usual place. The board is keeping its collective fingers crossed that they "won" and that everyone will have forgotten those soundbytes and all the recognition their Hate Games illicited for our fair town. They're hoping with whatever hearts they have that no one will show, no one will ask questions, no one will make them think.

See you at the meeting. The board will have to allow that confounded 30 minutes of public comment (and this time shout foul if Kelly Tyson uses some of it like he did month) but they won't like it any more than they did last time. Dallas Mount may ask that the time be extended, so that all may be heard, but likely no other board member will have the decency to second his motion. Again.

The board will have to deal with the "No Advertising in Schools" situation, because that was officially asked for. Seeing how they decide to handle that alone will be worth attending the meeting.

WHS is safe from the No Place For Hate label. No one is thinking of moving to Wheatland or Wyoming for its progressive, or liberal or "Do Unto Others" ethics. No one thinks that Wheatland is even aware of what's going on outside its walls. Nope, Wheatland is "safe" from infiltration by anyone who doesn't Think Like Jack. Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Any change for Wheatland will have to come from those of us who already live here. If Wheatland is ever to be more than what it is, it will be because of the people like the ones who showed up, and spoke up last month at the school board meeting, and those of us who will indeed show up again. Please join us. Make them listen to 30 more minutes of what the people of Platte want. Show them that Wheatland is NO Place For Hate.

MP:

A little clarification on the March 16 & 17 comments on the closing of Platte County's Public Shooting range. There was some new fence being put in and the folks who were working on the fence were tired of hitting the ground to dodge the bullets and didn't want to take a bullet in the head, so they requested it be closed while they were working to avoid any mishaps. It had not a thing to do with the School Board.

Input required from Jack:

So Jack, what should we do about these gays? Should we ban them from going to any and all dances? And I'm not talking just high school, I'm talking adults too. Should we ban them from attending ALL functions as couples because, as you so wisely put it, it's glorifying them.

Hey, Jack wants to ban the "mentally ill" (as determined by... ah... his own crazy self) from social events. Gee, that's a good idea, Jack. I thnk they should ban you from this here forum.

Jack:

I am aware of the story and fully support the school board there.
There is no "right" to a prom and if those folks do not wish to support glorifying a mental illness they have a right to cancel it.

Jack for Mayor of Wheatland:

Jack, I'm assuming you live in Wheatland because you're so into the slime of it all. You should really, and I mean this sincerely, think about running for Mayor or at least Commissioner of Platte. You are a perfect mouthpiece for the community! You are the epitome of all that is Wheatland and Platte. You have the politics, the philosophy and the intelligence that set Wheatland apart from, well, from anywhere else in the entire country, and, likely the world. You ARE Wheatland! Please Jack, step up to the plate and keep speaking up for Wheatland. We need you Jack. With you in charge of at least a part of things, there will be no gays come running in here, and the liberals will finally take a cue and get the heck outta here and take their lattes with them. Jack for Mayor! Then Jack for Governor once he's cleaned up the streets of Wheatland. You're a great representative for Wheatland residents.

Jack:

"So Jack put you down for "no advertisiing" in school at all? Wonder what they'll paint the floor of the gym with?"

Maybe the school name or colors, mascot etc?

Jack:

"From what i heard no one else on that board had the courage to second the motion, therefore shutting the free speech off."

Sorry, there are no free speech issues. The freaks got their half hour public comment period to annoy everyone.

The board was well within it's rights to not extend annoyance time.

Wheaterville Resident,
You’re suggesting that the school board had something to do with the shooting range being closed for a few days?

Wednesday

Wheaterville Resident:

Well, must be why the City locked up the "PUBLIC" shooting range a few days back. So no one could practice before the meetings???? Or since we had a few nice days, no one could use the PUBLIC shooting range. No sign on the gate as to why- local Sheriff has no clue since it is not HIS problem.

MSmith:

Where’s the news about all the people who turned out in support of the banners? Why hasn’t wheaterville.com reported on the record number of people who addressed the Board of Trustees at last nights meeting?

Love people:

"Those" folks are people as well. Just becase we may not be comfortable with them. The challenge in loving one another is to love someone that is different than you or maybe "unloveable".

Play the Game:

Was Dallas just playing the game. Make a motion knowing full well it wouldn't get a second. Happens all the time to make people think you are on their side. It is a great vote getter. Have the paper do an interview with him where he will go on public record. Then there will not be any doubt on his view point.

OtMElTOst:

to concept man: Forget the banners. Dallas Mount made a motion that all the public be heard. That's free speech, that's American, that's Wyoming. From what i heard no one else on that board had the courage to second the motion, therefore shutting the free speech off. Who cares about the banners? Wheatland is a gay free town now, thanks Joe Fabian the dance teacher and Kelly Tyson who says no to all advertising, at least sometimes, and lee Dunham who along with Fabian and Tyson just needs to learn to say "no comment". School board one, Wheatland, zero. A really big zero.

Here is a Concept:

So you want to keep Dallas Mount on the Board what exactly has he done to warrent this. Made motions and voted to keep the banners. Why did he vote to keep the banners. He or anyone else that voted for them has never said that I know of. I have not heard Dallas get up in the meetings and defend the banners. Maybe he has in the local coffee shop to drum up votes for the next election or to avoid a conflict.

News:

Ha, Ha, News this morning reads, "Lesbian Air Force Sergeant Discharged After Police Find Marriage Certificate". I love it. "And Stay Out"!

Monday

Vote em out:

65 speak a lot louder then the FAB FOUR, who brought this all on the town. Bring back the banners and get rid of the board, except for Dallas Mount.

To PC Parent:

A crowd of 65 give or take speak for a School district of over 4,000. What is wrong with this picture.
