HalifaxTalk: Kim Farson District 3 School Board<\/a><\/p>\n

Kim Farson introduces herself and her candidacy to HalifaxTalk and is welcomed until the Freight Train-O-Fun is derailed by this post by Granny<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

What would be your reaction if one of your children did not make a school team in which they tried out for?
\nSetting good example for our children means that…whether they make a team or not, to except it and learn from it.
\nWould you be OK with the fact your child did not make it or would you use your pull as a SB member to have your child placed on the tea?
\nI know of one prior school board member that ran just so his child could make a high school team which they had never made before.
\nHaving children in the MS and HS can be a good thing as a SB member or it can be a bad thing if you want to use it to get something for your children.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve asked Granny<\/strong> who she’s referring to, but OddsMakers says there a 4% chance that I’ll get a direct answer to that question.<\/p>\n

Not only is that posting a load of truckload of smelly crap dumped into the middle of a thread that actually had redeeming values, it’s the stupidest question in the world.
\nYou could paraphrase it as “Kim, do you have a total lack of integrity?” What will the next question be? “Kim, will you steal millions of tax money?” “Kim, do you plan on showing up at every meeting drunk?”<\/p>\n

How about “Kim, will you act like a total creepy pedophile around the female students and hang out with young students on the grounds of the high school at 2 AM and have trespassing charges filed against you?” Um… well, that would have been a good question to ask one Halifax County school board member before he was elected and then ejected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
