Arkansas schools officials condemn anti-gay comments
The Arkansas Department of Education has condemned anti-gay comments made by a local school board member and posted on a social networking site.
Midland School District Vice President Clint McCance wrote on his personal Facebook page that he wanted gay people to commit suicide, according to The Advocate, a newspaper focusing on gay news. McCance used the terms "queer" and "fag" repeatedly, promised to disown his own children if they were gay, and stated that he enjoys "the fact that [gay people] often give each other AIDS and die."
A strongly worded statement signed by Dean Stanley, superintendent of the Midland School District, disavowed the remarks. "The district strives to foster an environment that discourages all forms of bullying," the statement read, "and an environment that encourages a safe and productive educational climate of all of our students. The district is very diligent in pursuing and addressing bullying of any variety on our campuses."
A separate statement sent to CNN by Julie Thompson, director of communications for the Arkansas Department of Education, said the department is "dismayed to see that a school board official would post something of this insensitive nature on a public forum like Facebook."

It think he was just trying to write an essay folmulating variovs criticisms. Just for the prupose of putting all the rotten eggs in one basket, and examining it.
Is this who I think it is?
If he is putting eggs in a basket he will use them to get his butt out of the skillet. Down low.
@ Raleigh:Sounds gross and stinky.
He has denied he was doing something wrong. Nobody lnnks at my facebook. Us guys just aren't always the center of everyone's iniverse. If you expect someone to see it, you won't put it up for them to see. If you havent had a hit for a year and a half?
Someone stole my last screen name. Last hint...kids grandkids.
But as a public figure he had to know the possibility was there...
