Foster's Letters to the Editor Calling for Resignation of OR Board Member

Published today in Foster's are 4 letters from the community calling for Kach's resignation.  They are from:

Ruth Sample -  "Must Resign"
To the editor: I am a resident of Lee and parent of two children in Oyster River schools. I am writing in regards to the public comments made by School Board member Jim Kach over the social media network "Twitter." 

Mr. Kach makes offensive statements about muslims, gay people, and Jews, but Mr. Kach also publicly and repeatedly attacks the physical characteristics and impugns the sexuality of women with whom he disagrees......

Debbie and Harry Mueller - "Time to Resign"
To the editor: This is an open letter to the members of the Oyster River School Board, and to Jim Kach. 

We are writing to express our outrage and disgust at the comments of Mr. Kach which were published in Foster's Daily Democrat today, and to call for his immediate resignation from the Oyster River School Board.....

Dr. Kenny Rotner, M.D. - "Dismayed"
To the editor: I read with dismay the recent revelation of comments posted by ORCSD Board member Jim Kach on his personal but public twitter account. I fail to understand how comments that express prejudice and bigotry can be taken as "PG humor". These type of opinions are morally repugnant and are not appropriate for any setting; especially given his position on the School Board......

Cathy Frierson - "Nightclub?"
To the editor: ORCSD Madbury representative Jim Kach says he considers his words on Twitter humorous and would say them again in "a nightclub." What nightclub? Where is it safe or prudent to make jokes about blacks, Jews, gays, immigrants, women, and Muslims?......
