Letter to the
Editor
At the School Board meeting between Gilmanton and Gilford, topics
discussed ranged from new programs to school vacations. The
participants were informative, inquisitive, and polite.
Midway through
the session Senator Jim Forsythe came to help explain new laws that have
passed or are close to passing which would directly impact school districts
and their upcoming budgets. His participation was also calm,
respectful, and open to all.
Suddenly, two teachers from our town began
to verbally attack the Senator. What began as a civil exchange of ideas
among two school districts and the audience quickly degenerated into a
disgraceful display of personal attacks on the Senator and his party
affiliation. The worst was that not much of the attack had anything to
do with the issues at hand. This was the sort of input one would
expect in a street fight; not at a School Board meeting!
Where has our
civil tone gone? Should we be afraid to speak and ask questions at an
open forum for fear of being attacked by a dissenter? Have we lost our
ability to share thoughts and ideas without rhetoric or rancor becoming the
issue?
I, for one, was appalled at the behavior of those teachers who
chose that venue to air their contempt for someone who doesn’t fit their
idea of what is right for them. To those people I say, “ANGER
MANAGEMENT” Please!!
