This letter is in response to the attack on Josh Silva, who spoke at the school board meeting back in December and the attack on school board chair Rachael Weber, who made comments after his speech.
I was in the room and heard everything that was said and in no way was this anything anti-LGBTQ+ or against any person, nor a rant. What I heard was a concerned parent asking where is the help for all the troubles the kids are facing these days. I heard a concerned parent that is looking for answers and people saying it was courageous to sit there and bring up these hard questions.
Most people are raised with the respect to ask questions if you don’t understand something and that it’s not ok to attack someone if you truly don’t understand what they meant.
I truly believe Daryl Beauregard should publicly apologize to everyone he slandered because he acted on assumption of intent and not factual meaning of what was said. He did not ask any questions to the points made to get clarification on what the gentleman was saying. To now label someone this way is nothing but a bully calling someone names and I expect more from adults.
This is not a light-hearted accusation and I would hope that before anyone would do this they would get the facts. Not everyone is good at public speaking so one may be a little nervous sitting in front of others and bringing up hard questions. That does not mean you can imply what someone is saying without asking what one means.
