Arkansas School Board Officials Tells Gay Teens To Commit Suicide! Really!

I guess I should have expected this from Arkansas, but I just have been resistant to believing the stereotypes.
A really mean man named Clint McCance is on the board of the Midland school district in northern Arkansas.

I call McCance mean because he really is.  Consider this statement from Mr. McCance:

"Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers killed themselves. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed thereselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE."

Really people indeed!  McCance is beyond being bigoted, he as a member of the school board, a group whose purpose is to protect the children they are trying to educate goes way beyond being mean.  His calous remarks are the worst kind of bullying and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't actually contribute toward anti-gay violence or more suicides.

When elected officials say these kinds of things they are using the public forum to oppress and degrade the very people they should be protecting.

So here is an open letter to Mr. McCance:

Dear Mr. McCance,

Your hate filled posting on your Facebook page shows just how little you care for the very children you should be protecting.  To espouse encouragement for teen suicide is unconscionable and if your constituents don't call for your resignation, let me do it for them.  Now in words you can understand, "Yer a damned asshat and need to shut yer trap.  Now either get out or apologize or even better, both."

Understand?
