Huntsville City School Security Chief Al Lankford (L) Huntsville City School Superintendent Casey Wardynski (R) |
We
Go
Again
The Huntsville School board claims to be intimidated by the people they are supposed to serve, the parents/tax payers. The only time they want parental involvement is when certain parents agree with them. Parents who don't agree with them are met with metal detectors, or the television feed just happens to have a glitch just as public comments are about to start.
If anyone believes Al Langford is not following orders I have some nice ocean front property in Utah for sell.
Blair said he only learned of the incident when contacted by the media Monday.Un Huh. RedEye Roll Blame it on the black guy.
"There are so many things going on at the board meetings," Blair said, "that I don't sit there and look for intimidation and threats."
Blair said he's always found Winn to be pleasant and cordial. He did say, however, that some people at the December meeting found Winn's minute and a half of silence uncomfortable.
"I didn't, but I think other people may have found it upsetting," Blair said. "It was kind of awkward."
When asked if he agreed with Lankford's decision to stop Winn from recording the meeting, Blair declined to discuss it.
"I'm not going to Monday morning quarterback the actions," Blair said. "We're there to do the business of the board, to move the school system forward. I'm not going to second-guess Al's decisions."
I know from personal experience this is how the HCS systems deals with taxpayers who don't go along to get along. Mr. Winn should be glad he wasn't arrested, charged, and convicted of harassment for trying to stand up for the rights of not only his student, but all students.

Trayvon Martin comes to the Huntsville City Schools
It seems to me that Dr. Wardynski also sees threats in things that just don’t seem threatening to me. For example, during his presentation to the board concerning his recommendation to put a fence and a “welcome center” (read: guard shack) around the new Lee High campus, he asked for several photos of the neighborhood surrounding Lee High to be displayed for the board and the public.
