Arkansas School Board Member Wants Gays Dead

It looks like the U.S. Department of Education may have its first school division to investigate under its new guidelines for schools and universities that do not address anti-gay bullying. In this case, one of the members of the Midland School District school board, Clint McCance, is doing the bullying via truly hateful comments on Facebook (samples are above). McCance's batshitery and hate is like something that Scott Rigell endorser Lou Sheldon likes to disseminate. If you can't read the images above, they read as follows:
*
“Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed therselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE.”
*
“No because being a fag doesnt give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then dont tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. I dont care how people decide to live their lives. They dont bother me if they keep it to thereselves. It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die. If you arent against it, you might as well be for it.” He further writes, “I would disown my kids if they were gay. They will not be welcome at my home or in my vicinity. I will absolutely run them off. Of course my kids will know better. My kids will have solid christian beliefs. See it infects everyone.”

HRC's Backstory has a complete copy of McCances screed here. The messages were first brought to HRC’s attention by R. Anthony Turner, a 1998 graduate of Midland High School. One can only image the toxic atmosphere that must exist at the Midland School division.

I would urge readers to contact Midland Superintendent Dean Stanley and demand that McCance resign from office. His e-mail address is: dstanley@midlandschools.org. I likewise hope that local residents will contact the Department of Education and demand action.
