Buna ISD Story..... The First Amendment.

 As many of you know, especially those of you who took my class know, I am an absolutist on the Bill of Rights, especially the  First and Second Amendments. 

Look, I had a radio show, I write this publication on a regular basis. I am working on a podcast....

And again, if you took my class, you know I am an absolutist on Amendment 2. I still want a fully-auto German MG42 or a British Vickers.....

This story comes from a reader of the blog, who felt that they needed to share with me. 

Allegedly, they received a call from a local law enforcement officer to stop posting on social media concerning school district leadership. That it was....

 " Against the law." 

What the cornbread ??????

Look, I am a " Public Personality" writing this blog.  You should get some of the stuff I get. I even have people write me and tell me I am "Going to Hell" because of my religious beliefs.  I generally write them back and say, " See you down there."

It bothered me at first, but it got to where, I just ignored it and went on.... It's just part of writing the blog. I fully expect it when I start the podcast. Ain't no telling what people will say.....And I know this. 

When you take a job on the taxpayer teat, well, you are subject to criticism. This triply  applies if you are in a school or any government leadership position. 

When Harry Truman was President of the US, one of his sayings was ...."If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen." 

In other words, can't stand the criticism that goes with the position YOU accepted, leave. Quit, go do something else. 

The patron, still pays Buna ISD taxes is my understanding who received the phone call from law enforcement, they of course were upset and went to LEO leadership and told them what happened and they( leadership) told them what they had written on social media was protected speech.  

If school leadership is using law enforcement to try and shut you up, that should scare the hell out of you..... 

I was about to recommend an attorney.  

So, my question is this, does the Buna ISD School Board know this was going on? If so, have they done anything about it? Or do they want that "pesky" Amendment 1 to go away?

My message to leadership? 

Toughen up. Grow some thick skin. What you going to do when something really bad happens? 

My understanding is board elections are later this year.  

Just saying.....
