Does Teresa Holmes have any idea what defamation is?
Start listening when Trustee McFadden begins her explanation
for not wanting to vote on the superintendent’s proposed revised contract at
the Sept. 14th meeting. That’s at 1:29:40
Listen especially to the argument at 1:32:20 on the
recording, when Holmes accused McFadden of defaming board members. McFadden was
explaining about how late she received the proposed revised contract for the
superintendent, and she said, “We already know they got four that are going to
vote for it.”
Holmes not only interrupted her, but Holmes argued and
asserted that McFadden was defaming The Four (Holmes, McKie, Caution-Parker,
Manning) by saying that. McFadden was not!
You can also hear Holmes apparently talking to someone near
her, although her words are not clearly audible on the recording. McFadden heard her, though.
Proper and courteous procedure is that you don’t interrupt
the person who is speaking, even if you don't agree with them. One board member, not even the chair, is not to argue
with another; yet that’s exactly what Holmes does. Holmes is supposed to
maintain order; instead, she causes even more disruption.
Where in the world does Holmes get “defaming other board members”,
when she hears McFadden say that she know four who are already planning to vote
for the revised contract I wish McFadden had not apologized. No apology was needed.
When McKie referred to McFadden’s comments as “pretty juvenile”,
was that defamatory?
Holmes' "door" only swings one way.
