ORCSD resident Marion Kelley asked that we post the following:
On his self-proclaimed "totally biased" website, Orcsdcleanslate, Dean Rubine published a doctored photo (Editor's note: it is included above) of the recently defeated Jim Kach as a criminal behind bars. This attempt at humor is in poor taste and questionable, considering the repeated posturing from the Rubine/Sample household concerning the need for exemplary role modeling for our District's children. The answer begs the question: If a middle school student in our district were to post on Facebook a doctored photo of a child they have publiclyand repeatedly denounced, would this student be censored by the school? Would it be OK for this child to post a mean picture if he or she felt morally justified in his or her disagreement? Apparently, in some circles and some households, this is the accepted standard. As Dean has pointed out, our children learn acceptable and unacceptable behavior from adults. And as has been noted, this district really does have an adult problem.
It should be noted that Dean Rubine has pulled the offending graphic from the site, and that he has issued a public apology, which you can read here: http://orcsdcleanslate.blogspot.com/2012/03/dean-apologizes-to-jim-kach.html
