It's Time You Paid Attention

  Onaway's current school board is a mess, and it came about in a series of odd events. First we had agitators, obnoxious types spreading discontent with loud rhetoric, lies, half-truths, and misunderstanding/misuse of Christian beliefs. If you apply reason to what they say, their claims don't hold up to scrutiny. Sadly, some don’t care. These "believers" come in two types: those too weak-minded to examine what they hear and think it through, and those who see an opportunity to get something they want out of the uproar.  Ask yourself why a radio show host would jump into a situation he knows nothing about, interview only one side of the issue, and use his platform to support people he chooses to believe without the slightest attempt to present facts or alternate views. (Hint: He does it all the time. He's twice been convicted of felony fraud.) Ask yourself why a parent would take issue with a teacher's methods but never speak to the teacher about it.
