Deyshia Hargrave is an English teacher at Rene Rost Middle Schools in Vermilion
Parish, Louisiana; on Monday night, she attended a special meeting of
the local school board and, when called upon comment period, politely
asked why the board superintendants had voted themselves a raise while
the teachers in the school district have been subjected to a long-term
pay-freeze.
The superintendent ruled her question out of order and then a deputy
Abbeville city marshal who works in the parish schools dragged her out
of the room, put her in handcuffs and threw her to the floor while
chanting “stop resisting.”
The board of education says it won’t press charges against her. However,
the city is holding her on charges of “remaining after being forbidden”
and “resisting an officer.”
It gets better. The school board president can’t fucking handle himself in a goddamn interview, and was getting all pissy about the “threats and obscenities” his office has been getting thanks to “that stupid a** video” and whining about how “everyone wants to side with the poor little woman who got thrown out.”
Fucker actually says “She made a choice. She could have walked out and nothing would have happened.”
Of course, if you watch the video you will see that she was A) addressed by the board, B) still being spoken to by a board member at the same time the officer was trying to eject her, and C) she did in fact gather her things and walk out peacefully after the board member finished speaking to her.
If anyone else would like to give Vermilion School Board President Anthony Fontana’s office a call and maybe some fresh obscenities to complain about, their number is (337) 893-3973
I looked it up, that is the correct number. have at it.
