Over 100 parents and students protested Kellogg High School's decision to punish a student for saying "Guys are guys and girls are girls. There is no in-between."
In spite of today's protest, Travis Lohr will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
UPDATE: A lot of people have been wondering how @NorthIdaho College Trustee Todd Banducci is doing after being violently attacked in his office by an NIC professor earlier today.
He’s got some cuts, bruises, and his office was trashed, but to us he looks UNDAUNTED.
The attack, carried out by NIC professor Zach Shallbetter, wrecked Todd’s office. Shallbetter allegedly threw a tub of soapy water on Todd’s desk, ruining his electronics & hitting Todd with the tub.
Banducci responded, 911 was called & others came to his aide to subdue the man.
Shallbetter has been charged with battery and malicious injury to property, and has been released on bond.
Meanwhile, the Community has rallied to support Trustee Banducci. Friends and family have been calling him and offering material and spiritual support.
BREAKING: We have received word that @NorthIdaho College Trustee Todd Banducci was ATTACKED while working in his office.
The suspect has been arrested and is currently in Police custody.
This comes after MONTHS of agitation from violent Left-Wing who have called for "Hardcore Measures" against the trustees, because Boycotting them wasn't working. idahotribune.org/news/secrets-r…
The assailants name is ZACHARY PHILLIP SHALLBETTER, and he is currently in custody with the @KootenaiSheriff.
Early reports are that Shallbetter allegedly stormed Banducci's office with a bucket of water which he poured on Banducci's computer, and then engaged in fighting.
I don't think today's Library Debate in North Idaho went the way the incumbents were hoping... 🤣
They didn't expect @KCRCC candidates Tim Plass and Tom Hanley to bring *proof* of the smut in our libraries, or be well prepared, articulate, reasonable and POPULAR.
This is the face of someone with a guilty conscience...
Regina McCrea, who was APPOINTED to the library board in 2016, repeatedly defended the filthy books that are available in our Community Library Network.
Throughout the debate, Tom Hanley, a @KCRCC recommended candidate, rattled off book titles and descriptions of hyper-sexual books in the adolescent section of our local libraries — Books that he has vowed to keep out of the hands of minors.
Hagadone Holdings LLP, the corporation that *owns* the Coeur d'Alene Resort, CDA Press, and almost much every newspaper in North Idaho and West Montana paid LESS in taxes in 2021 than they did in 2012.
When President Swayne was first hired, the first anyone in the community heard of him was in this article by Kaye Thornbrugh @ the Press.
She essentially copy/pasted from a press release that was sent to her, and never went to look and see what Swayne's work in Va. looked like.
Swayne ran X-Labs at James Madison University, and became the "Executive Director" of 4-VA, an inter-college foundation that "shared resources" & gave out scholarships like:
"Faculty Development Award to Promote Diversity in Neuroscience by the National Institutes of Health."
Swayne's job at 4-VA was to grow "the strategic partnership with state-level stakeholders at the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) and the governors office."
SCHEV is all about Diversity Equity And Inclusion :)
From their main page, this is what they say they believe in, and what they do. EXTREMELY vague.
Whenever I think of @4H I would think of the fairgrounds where they have competitions for growing the best pig.
Turns out "Agriculture" is actually "STEM" and it's U of I's excuse to use taxpayer $ to teach kids about "Climate Science" "Sustainability" and "Renewable Energy. "
