Dear Dr. Whisnant,
This morning a peaceful, well rehearsed, information dissemination campaign which consisted of flyers being politely handed to parents was conducted from four strategic locations located on the public sidewalks adjoining Acacia elementary. It was also all filmed as well.
During the course of their peaceful activities, you rudely shouted at a parent from at least 15 feet away that “you can’t be on school property and you can’t obstruct traffic”. Were you trying to intimidate or humiliate this mother? The implication of your rant was that she was on school property and she was obstructing traffic. The fact of the matter is they were doing no such thing. This is a parent with her 87 year old old mother who have lived in the community for well over 40 years and are neighbors. They were handing out fliers on public property. They were clearly on the sidewalk. Review the geography of your facility. They did no such thing.
You accused them of obstructing traffic. Impossible, as the whole thing is on camera and they were in no way, shape or form doing any such thing remotely resembling what you alleged.
Why are you, or your staff so active in trying to get these parents out of the way?
Someone from your office called the police on these parents, including my lovely wife for doing what is perfectly legal, and protected by the first amendment. Review your civics textbook. This was a waste of public resources, tax money and threatens the safety of the community by needlessly tying up 2 officers and 2 patrol cars by having them dispatched to a nonevent.
I am at a loss for words on what lengths Acacia elementary, you or your staff will go to in order to suppress important health information to the parents.
The attached flyer below is what was and will continue to be disseminated at Acacia and all over the FSD.
Is this the truth that you and the FSD appears to want suppressed?
This material is not obscene and pertains to a matter of public safety, relevant to the the intended audience: the Acacia elementary parents. The dissemination of such was done in a manner wholly consistent with and enshrined within the first amendment.
It appears that there is an agenda to infringe on our first amendment rights. It also appears that you are continuing to attempt to keep this very important information pertaining to the welfare of the children out of the hands of the parents, which by the way, you are entrusted with as a principal.
You do respect the first amendment and the rights afforded all Americans do you not, Dr.Whisnant?
We are well aware of our rights, and will continue to peacefully exercise them as this issue should be and will remain at the forefront off all honest discussion in the FSD,
Chief Hughes, I would like to add that your officers were very professional and courteous and I thank you for that.
Regards,
Joe Imbriano
