Pamela Davis' "story" to WIS-TV

 I just watched the WIS-TV coverage of "the incident" at R2i2 on January 25 again.

Having thought carefully about the events of that night and the sequence of them, I find Pamela Davis' recitation of them less than credible. Do you think she was highly coached before that softball interview? Where do you think that interview was conducted? Any chance it was at R2i2?

While I appreciated the opportunity to tell my story, I was disappointed when both the anchor and the reporter said I tried to introduce myself "to the superintendent's wife." That implies that I knew her or knew who she was.

When I spoke to Pamela Davis, I had no idea who she was. I was shocked by her outburst. I told the first R2 security officer that I didn't know who she was. When I spoke with the female deputy in the hallway, I told her I didn't know who the woman was. When the two R2 security officers came out into the hallway while I was speaking with the deputy, I told them that I didn't know who the woman was. One of them told me it was the superintendent's wife.

A-ha!!!

If Pamela Davis felt so intimidated, afraid, targeted, why did she sit down right behind where I was standing?

Maybe Supt. Davis takes too much "office" home with him. Did he tell her about emails he received at work? Why would he reveal school business to her? Did he tell her who had sent them? Isn't that improper release of school business, especially if he felt threatened by them.

Here's the WIS-TV story:

And, by the way, I wasn't escorted from the room or the building. I picked up my materials from my chair. Two security officers were standing there, staring into space. I started for the doorway and said, "Are you guys going to walk out with me?"  SNAP! Wake up, guys. They followed me out. And refused to identify themselves.

And the Holmes and Manning interviews with WIS-TV? They were improperly conducted in front of R2i2, which is school property. While Holmes might chair the privilege of speaking on behalf of the school board while on school property, Manning cannot. And once she mentioned "politics", she should have been shut down. He expressed his personal opinions. And he shouldn't do that on school property, right in front of R2i2, where viewers will believe he is speaking for the Board.
