School trustee tangled in Web

Two school board trustees say comments posted on a Web site by new board member Kevin Post may conflict with his obligation to uphold state and federal education laws.

In telephone interviews last week, Trustee Doug Hieter said a district resident contacted him about Post's comments on the Web site www.freerepublic.com under the user name kphockey2. Hieter said he's particularly concerned about seemingly homophobic comments made by Post

"I hope he realizes his own personal views can't color his decisions on what the school district has to and should do," Hughes said. "I also think it was somewhat misleading of him not to fully express his position on all areas related to the school district."

POST'S profile was deleted from the Web site following Friday's interview, but on Thursday night included this message: "F the Democrats! I am a former Republican Committeeman in the Town of Plattekill/County of Ulster in New York State. School Board Elect member of the Hyde Park School Board. I will eventually be a Republican Committeeman in the Town of Hyde Park/County of Dutchess in New York State."

The profile concluded with the message: "Always up for a good freep," a nickname for Free Republic counter-demonstration activities by self-proclaimed "protest warriors." Post referred in the profile to demonstrations against gay rights activities in New Paltz and antiwar demonstrators in Kingston, as well as an out-of-state anti-John Kerry campaign in 2004.

1. when a local freeper on school board gave an interview in which

he ...

1. denounced public education
2. discussed how none of his children attended the local public schools where he was on the board...and
3. made fun of the very district he was representing....


he lost his job...and his business (his dad's actually) suffered great losses as people in the community both Democratic and Republican came out and voted him out...

2. At least he was honest about his feelings towards public education.

If only more RWers would speak their mind like that....

3. Did he blame it all on the "liberal media"

like all the good little "personal responsibility" hypocrites?

4. not sure but he keeps running and it is scary how people forget

because last election he could have possibly won....
