Won't Someone Think of the Children?

[Trigger Warning: Eliminationism, Violence, Highly Disturbing]

The children in Midland School District (Arkansas), that is. Clint McCance, school board member and local business owner, took to Facebook recently to protest Spirit Day and the existence of LGBTQI people. Said McCance in his status update (all spelling original to McCance):

“Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. 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 therselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE.”

After someone commented "Because hatred is always right....", McCance responded:

“No because being a fag doesnt give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then dont tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. I dont care how people decide to live their lives. They dont bother me if they keep it to thereselves. It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die. If you arent against it, you might as well be for it.”

After that, someone else expressed the sentiment that he should STFU and what if someone's kids are reading his bullshit (ok, slight paraphrase) and, of course, he responded:

“I would disown my kids if they were gay. They will not be welcome at my home or in my vicinity. I will absolutely run them off. Of course my kids will know better. My kids will have solid christian beliefs. See it infects everyone.”

You, McCance, should not be welcome in the vicinity of civilised society, much less be a sitting member of a school board. I went looking for contact information for Midland School Board but it appears the district has scrubbed that information from their site. There is this site the district also has but there isn't school board contact information.

You can contact Superintendent Dean Stanley: Phone: (501)345-8844 E-mail: dstanley@midlandschools.org

Another option is the Arkansas Department of Education. They say right on their site:

The purpose of the Arkansas Department of Education is to provide the highest quality leadership, service, and support to school districts and schools in order that they may provide equitable, quality education for all students in Arkansas public schools. With a staff of approximately 300 professionals, the ADE is firmly committed to this mission.

Polite, yet firm, generally works best--even though McCance's comments were absolutely rage-inducing.

McCance shouldn't be anywhere near a school board.
