Joker: Hamilton’s Logic Fails

Joker (re: "Hamilton: Pro-PYPers "militant") Tom’s logic is an epic failure. Tom says the school board can’t use a measured approach because some anti-PYP people have been allegedly intimidated by supporters of PYP. Huh? So instead the school board is going to make a rash decision on an important issue? What the heck? Why? What is the hurry? If he’s trying to protect the anti-PYP folks from the “militant” supporters, contact law enforcement if threats are being made. The truth sounds like Tom doesn’t want to hear criticism from people he doesn’t agree with. Tom needs to stop pouting like a little kid. Announcing to the world that that you’re taking your ball and going home because people object to your decisions is sure way to find yourself being called, “former school board chair Tom Hamilton.” Maybe Tom can come on here explain why the board wouldn’t take its time and make a decision that’s in the best interest of the kids?

Question: Is there any legitimate reason for the Coeur d'Alene School Board to hurry the decision on the Hayden Meadows Primary Years Programme?
