No telephone town hall, that’s BS. The people need
To attend in person. I have no zoom or internet.
Why don’t you have the meeting where people can
Attend in person? Don’t say Covid & wear a mask.
—I like to see the whole face when I’m being lied too.
How about this idea? Charge the parents for their
Juvenile kids that commit crimes…what’s that you say?
No nuclear family, no mom & dad? How about get rid
Of juvenile court & straight to adult court? How about
Posting juvenile mug shots too. Should we have a dress
Code and children must wear a uniform to go to public school?
Bring back corporal punishment? Maybe women should
Have to get a permit first if they are going to conceive a child
Because abortion is not intended to be birth control.
It takes 2 parents to raise a child! It seems some
People have 5 different kids from 5 different daddy’s &
Collect a government check…I think the last sentence is bingo.
Maybe more social justice murals will fix things.
Like, “use a gun and you’re done. 10,20, life”…
They need to treat this “black on black” gun crime epidemic
Like they did with the Wuhan flu pandemic with the quarantines…
They said it worked, right? Maybe a curfew at sundown
For minors past sundown…to draconian you say?
How about some social justice murals asking juveniles to stay home and be super heroes, not
Be driving around smoking dope and acting like gangsters. If caught, bring em to juvenile hall and fine
The parents for not controlling them. ACSB knows
To be tough with children with face masks
To keep them safe…same routine, keep your kids
Safe at home come sundown..
The 3 above comments are great even if you don’t
Agree with them. The problem is: when going in person
Or on zoom, they won’t let you speak and your time is
Up. The above comments are not welcome at their
Meeting…someone should send this comment section
To Desmond Walker so she could read it all at the
Zoom meeting. Now that would be a meeting worth
Watching and attending!
Superintendent Dr. Simon should be one of the
Speakers at this meeting…I would love to hear her
2 cents since she’s so concerned about the children
And has great credentials for everything!
Yes… Why wasn’t she invited? They always tout
Education as the cure for everything…
