This is a community commentary in today's Foster's written by a Dover resident. The author is against the petition and discusses his views on political correctness and opposing viewpoints of this issue.
Let me state up front that I do not know Mr. Kach. Never met him, would not know him if I fell over him.
I do not live in Durham. I have no children.
However the question of Mr. Kach's tweets is no longer a neighborhood/school issue either.
Once the article about Mrs. Samples discovery of the tweets was published it became a much larger issue. To wit: At what point is someone's Freedom of Speech trumped by Political correctness?
I have read the Tweets published in Foster's.
All of them are motivated by Politics, by Mr. Kach's view of our Government. It seems there are 174 people who do not like his view, so now they want his head. Next they'll want to run him out of town on a rail.
Do all 174 signers of this petition think that he is the only one in Durham, the Seacoast, New Hampshire, New England and the rest of the United States that holds opinions contrary to there own?
"... these tweets have created... a hostile learning environment..."
Unless Mr. Kach is going from school room to school room threatening the students to think as he does, unless he's walking the halls shouting out his "tweets" that statement is hyperbole intended to further inflame this issue.
