About Me
- Sam Stickle (mountvernon1805)
- Mount Vernon, Ohio, United States
- AccountabilityInTheMedia.com was begun in 2009 to respond to inaccuracies in the media’s coverage of the John Freshwater and Mount Vernon Board of Education controversy. Since posting a response to The Columbus Dispatch editorial of January 7, 2009, “Teaching moment,” which was about Freshwater, I followed up with details from the state administrative hearing. Although I do have opinions about various aspects of the controversy— I support Freshwater’s right to have a Bible on his desk; I also support his right to due process—this website is not affiliated with Freshwater or any other party involved in litigation with the school.

Man, when are they going to actually fire this superstitious clown?
FSM_Ed,
Which of these board members are you calling a “superstitious clown”?
Since it is the voters who get to choose to retain or “fire” board members, the answer to your question would be that the next opportunity is during the 2011 election when the terms of three of the board members expires.
Freshwater...
Freshwater is not currently a board member.
He is the superstitious clown. It's tiresome to have to explain everything to you.
FSM_Ed,
Ah, now I see. Your original comment was off-topic.
(The post doesn’t mention anything about Freshwater—it’s only about the school board members.)
I can understand how “tiresome” it must be to have to explain off-topic comments.
