News Mount Si High Update
posted by on February 6 at 15:41 PM
The Mount Si High School/Reverend Ken Hutcherson saga continues:
Today, Mount Si is holding a disciplinary hearing for one of the teachers who booed Hutcherson during his Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech at the school. and the Snoqualmie Valley School Board will hold a disciplinary inquiry for another teacher involved in the incident, Kit McCormick, tomorrow night.
Hutcherson and his followers will undoubtedly be at tomorrow night’s meeting to raise a stink, but a number of local political groups will also be attending to support McCormick, including representatives from the Human Rights Coalition, N.O.W., the Northwest Women’s Law Center and the Washington State Human Rights Commission.
Senator Ed Murray, who sent a scathing letter to Mount Si’s Principal last week, has also been invited to the meeting.
The meeting will be held tomorrow at 7pm at the Snoqualmie Valley School District office at 8001 Silva Ave SE, Snoqualmie WA 98065.
Excuse me, but they're doing what?!?!?!
This sort of represents an irony in being tolerant: should we be tolerant of intolerance? It's a paradox.
@2. actually, i believe the question is should we be tolerant of normally tolerant people who were intolerant of the intolerant person.

That teacher is a hero.
Hucherson is a disgrace to mankind.
That teacher should get a MEDAL.

Does anyone care that the Pastor was at the school to speak about civil rights? He was invited as a black man who lived the civil rights movement in the south.....and was booed!?! I'm all for free speech, but have some class.
The fact is a teacher boo'ed an invited speaker. This is behaviour for which a student would be held accountable, so it appropriate that a teacher, who is to model appropriate behaviour, should also be accountable for. All of the gay and lesbian rights discussion is not applicable at all in this scenario, bad behaviour on the part of a teacher is.
