Public comment from the 2:30pm session of the board meeting. facebook.com/JahaHowardForG…
Just FYI, the board can elect to give speakers more time. They should have done so for the Rabbi. Cutting him off was wrong.
A parent recounted the antisemitic bullying her child experienced at a Cobb school---Simpson Middle School.
Same parent called for @ADL No Place for Hate to return to Cobb schools.
Call for a bipartisan committee to address hate in the schools and engagement with dialogue with Jewish stakeholders.
Silencing a second Rabbi. Incredibly wrong move. The board CAN give speakers additional time. All speakers or specific ones.
'Rabbi Daniel Dorsch of Congregation Etz Chaim in East Cobb said he was speaking on behalf of several Jewish organizations that were “united in our disappointment” that “the school’s response specifically failed to address the hate by name—anti-Semitism, hatred against Jews.'
'“The failure by the administration to label it by name has left us feeling unheard and unseen.”'
'Rachel Barich, a past president of Temple Kol Emeth in East Cobb, recalled an incident when her brother experienced an anti-Semitic vandalism of his locker after his Bar Mitzvah. That prompted their parents to pull them out of public schools in the St. Louis area.'
'“No child should attend a school full of hate and none of us can continue to believe that the problem has gone away.”'
"It took a literal hate crime for you to move the school board meeting off a Jewish holiday"<-I don't know the name of the speaker, but amen lady, amen
Most direct quotes are from this piece, others are dictated from the video. eastcobbnews.com/cobb-schools-b…
The remarks by Keith Hanks should be played for every middle school and high school class in Cobb tomorrow.
Scamihorn strangely didn't admonish the Rabbi who mentioned his name, but did admonish the woman who mentioned Dr. Howard and Ms.Davis.

@Watching_CCSD, it would be interesting to know how much the district spends on the shiny promo spot and the music.
Scamihorn opens by stating the wrong date of the meeting. Twice.

'“The district does not and will not tolerate hate in any form,” Ragsdale said, reading from prepared remarks.' eastcobbnews.com/cobb-schools-b…
'Before a public comment period at the work session, board chairman Randy Scamihorn said he was preparing a resolution condemning anti-Semitism but that it wasn’t ready.' Not ready and not on the agenda.
'Those were his first public remarks since the incidents took place at Pope and Lassiter. Jewish and community leaders decried an earlier district reference only to “hate speech” and a similar response from Pope principal Thomas Flugum that didn’t specify anti-Semitism.'

'It wasn’t until intensive care units filled with COVID-19 patients, and the death toll was skyrocketing toward 20,000, that the governor did more to try to boost vaccinations.'
'“This is one of the first times in modern American history where we have a group of elected officials willing to put political chips down on a particular poker table, when those political chips are the lives of their constituents,” Koehn said.'
