Walton Co. School Board Meets about Blithe Spirit!!

[Jdarg]

i dont think i need to reevaluate that statement, i think the administration and the ones for blithe spirit need to...but hey each side did win in a way but you know the battle is not over so just get over it jdarg our time will come

Wow- I love it when Christians issue threats. So Christ-like.

Take it easy, Jdarg. Have a little sympathy. MOST of those others have a LONG drive back to Okaloosa County. Where they LOST that battle TOO!

True. But there were many Walton county residents in the crowd that clearly believed that it should be God's Way or the highway when it comes to our public schools. It was embarrassing and appalling at the same time.

In a bigger city or community, this issue never would have made it to board level. They dealt with this sort of thing and squashed it 10 to 20 years ago.

Personally that is not a threat. You just have a problem with people you have different oppions than yourself. Also some other things that surprised me was that the thespian president did not even defend her troupe and something even more surprising the drama teacher did not defend his department. I mean even Jake Lehman defended his size. I think it is time that the drama department stepped up to the plate. And i was at the same meeting so apparently you were not paying attention to the superintendent when she made her comment and when ewing made his. But, yes i do agree with the people you critized ewing. He really does need a slap upside the head...im just saying.

The drama teacher was advised by the admin not to speak. Since Jake Lehman brought the challenge, he was supposed to speak.

Oh and just by the way i dont live in Okaloosa county and i dont see a battle in Okaloosa county but that is even beside the point. But i do want to mention the hatred in the drama department that i have seen personally to myself and friends and it did not just start with blithe spirit. So i dont really understand why people are just in awe of the drama department people when you dont know them personally but dont get me wrong not all of them are this way.

...I mean even Jake Lehman defended his size....

"I didn't think he looked so big!"

.....not paying attention to the superintendent when she made her comment and when ewing made his.

Typos aside the Last Part needs no comment even when made by the other side. It stands on it's on merits.

Why must this be made into a battle of Christians vs. the infidels? I like to think I am flexible and open-minded enough that I can support Blithe Spirit AND be a practicing Methodist without too much strain on my beliefs. So as to the "Christians prevailing" tonight, I think truethespian should remember that he was one of a very small group of Christians in that auditorium tonight, and that he does not represent us all.

I do know many of them personally ( and they know you too ) but I am not going to include them in a spitting match with a very unevolved teen. These kids were intelligent enough to understand that religious involvement was wrong and they were savvy enough to see that they were going to be screwed if they didn't speak up. Kudos to them for acting like maturing and evolving adults.

If you can read and follow the local news, there was a protest in the Ft. Walton High School drama department regarding To Kill A Mockingbird. Happily it is being performed this weekend, and I hear it is wonderful.

I am going to bed now since we have covered all we need to cover. Carry on, little thespian, and good luck to you.
