Because this is America…
The Mobile County school board is considering a new meetings policy that would expel a speaker who attacks “any citizen’s good name,” and possibly bar that person from addressing the board again for a year.
That would include anyone who criticized a school board member, said the policy’s sponsor, Hazel Fournier.
“When we have a public meeting, why should I allow (someone) to come up and say how worthless Hazel Fournier is?” she said last week.
Because this is America, Hazel. And we have a little thing called free speech, especially when it comes to elected officials. If you can’t take criticism, you shouldn’t have run for office.
