Well, thought this thing was resolved earlier in the year (see Post dated February 24, 2020 for description of the issue with Bragen's use of his @edisonsupt twitter handle).
In summary, he's using his official title (@edisonsupt) makes comments about the district and links his @edisonsupt account to the school district's website but blocks any opposing or differing opinions
Apparently, I was wrong. When I went to check out the school district's in-school plan on their website, I found another tweet from @edisonsupt. And when I clicked on it, a screen came up indicating I was blocked from his @edisonsupt account.
So, I sent an email to the Board President asking what the Board's position was (once and for all) on Bragen's use of his @edisonsupt twitter account.
Seems there should be some policy on district employees, as well as board members use of social networking websites. If there is one, somebody please tell me where it is.
Just a tad bit unfair and it's certainly not a good idea for the school district or its leadership to Block any comments from the People of Edison just because they may not agree with or offer a different opinion about the school district or its leadership than what Bragen is putting out in the public.
Not exactly what you call school district transparency and you have to wonder why the school board would want any differing or opposing views from the public about the school district or it's leadership from being heard.
So, let's hope we can resolve this once and for all.
Anyhoo, but hey - what do I know? I still can't figure out why free speech isn't important anymore.
