Central PA school board director (R) cancels himself over gay guest speaker fallout

[RandySF]

Brian Drapp, director of the Cumberland Valley School Board, quit on Monday citing the school board’s decision to reinstate former “30 Rock” star actor Maulik Pancholy’s anti-bullying speech.

The school board made national news after it voted last month to ban Pancholy from speaking to middle school students because of Pancholy’s sexual orientation and his anti-racism activism.

“I voted twice against a political activist speaking to our middle school students,” Drapp wrote in his resignation letter.

“The actions witnessed at the special meeting on April 24th confirmed this belief. By allowing adults, students and teachers to disrupt, disrespect and silence any differing points of view and overtly ignoring the rules and common decency norms, our silence and non-responsiveness have signaled to our students this type of behavior and actions are acceptable.”

1. The problem with this asshole is that he isn't decrying the non acceptance of different viewpoints ...

... he's whining because his viewpoints convinced no one else. Acceptance of differing viewpoints doesn't mean everyone else caving in on their own and accepting an outlier opinion.

2. He ticked all the boxes and proved the pen is mightier that the sword

by proving himself intolerant, anti-diversity, pro-bullying, except for his own perceived "rules and common decency norms".

Their "differing opinions" are bullshit?
