Common sense must prevail.

(b) To consider the evaluation, dismissal or disciplining of, or to hear complaints or charges brought against, a public officer, employee, staff member or individual agent, or public school student;

That sounds to me like a legitimate use of an executive session.

EDITOR NOTE–There are several unknown issues. Was Shiva barred from the session, even though he is a co-equal elected official? Did they come to a decision (agreement) for his “consequences?” Is there a written “code of conduct or ethics policy” which legally applies to all board members? Can the board ban Shiva from attending functions as a board member even though he was elected by the citizens? All these questions are worthy of examination by the Ada Prosecutor.

Our young Shiva is also a Climate Justice Warrior. Not long after he was elected, he went to Egypt for the big anti-fossil fuel rally. “Blood on their Hands!” (I’m sure he didn’t fly over there – that would be hypocritical!)

With regards to restricting sex-change surgeries, etc., to adults… if kids are too young to decide on smoking or drinking or getting a tattoo because they’ll regret it later, you’re gonna let ’em go ahead and take sex hormones and alter their genitals and whatnot? I’m no expert but does that make ANY sense at all? That’s not HATE – that’s common sense!

EDITOR NOTE–Regardless of his political stance, was the Board justified in limiting his participation and holding a secret meeting regarding a fellow elected official?

This young dummy might have been violated, but I’m okay with it since he is a proponent of violating the rights of the people in his district.

Thoughtful and balanced view of a case that highlights the condition of our Idaho and local politics:
the terrible legislation lately, the reaction from Shiva AND the Board, and the polarized citizens. Not much good stuff going on there.

Thank you for your time Mr French.
