Northwood has a School board member named Gary Caron. He is very active on social media, where he spends a lot of time hating Trump and just about everyone else to whom he objects. His content is vile, rude, racist, bigoted, bitter, and angry, and yes, we’re sharing some of that: Content Warning
There is a school board meeting this Wednesday, the 21st, to talk about what you are about to read from Northwood School Board Member Gary Caron.
One more time: content warning.
Gary is, of course, entitled to be as offensive as he likes, but you are likewise allowed to find it offensive, and this may or may not be the sort of free speech you’d expect from an elected official. It’s certainly not something we’d tolerate from a straight Republican.
We know Gary would not, so we appreciate the honest expression of a well-known double-standard and the easy and free blog material.
Whether or not this sort of expression is unsuitable for a member of the Northwood School Board is up to the citizens of Northwood and Gary’s fellow board members.
And no, this is not all of the offensive material, but it is more than enough to start a conversation, and the town of Northwood is about to have one.
Editors note: the images above are exactly what we’ve been asking citizens to collect on their local elected officials—those who pretend to put people before politics and then can’t help but be themselves online. Not nearly enough of us make time to do it, and we lose seats and elections because the truth is out there, but there isn’t enough bandwidth for us to get it and build a case when elections roll around.
We need your help every day, every year, and every election cycle. We also can’t do any of this without your support.
Thank You!
