Why did a central Texas school board majority (near Austin, Texas) set outrageous limits on the speech of elected school board members in meetings? Do students benefits from this radical change in policy? How can a school board exercise proper oversight to protect and prepare students for the future with such oppressive limits on speech? In Round Rock ISD, school board members are now limited to two minutes of questions and two minutes of comments per agenda item. These items include consequential topics like how to spend the half billion dollar taxpayer funded budget, setting academic standards and goals for students, employee compensation and more. This policy change was ushered in over the loud and public objections of two members of the school board, Dr Mary Bone and former US Air Force captain, Danielle Weston.
In this episode, Bone and Weston expose this radical change for what it is, the silencing of the board's two dissenting trustees from continually exposing the board majority for their lack of transparency and other corruption and malfeasance.
