A Pennsbury, Pennsylvania taxpayer, Smon Campbell, a former Pennsbury school board member, took on the school district’s board members because bullied people who wished to speak and then edited out any public comments made at a past meeting if the comments were in opposition to Critical Race Theory.

Simon Campbell and other citizens have been speaking out against the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools and they have called for the firing of Pennsburyโ€™s Director of Equity & Diversity Cherrissa Gibson.

Campbell writes in the description of the video that โ€œWhat is happening in the Pennsbury School District is disturbing.โ€

He writes that on June 18, 2021, the school board has posted video of its March 18, 2021, and May 20, 2021, school board meetings on its website, but the tapes have been โ€œedited due to contentโ€ and cites the website and the minute markers.

โ€œWhat has been cut from the posted tapes is public comment by citizens opposed to critical race theory,โ€ writes Campell.

Campbell then proceeds to educate the school board members about Constitutional law as a member of the school board attempts to silence him law and to limit public comment.

โ€œNow, you snowflakes apparently have a bigger problem with public comment. It seems to me that you think you can supersede the United States Constitution,โ€ Campbell said as the crowd attending the meeting expressed their agreement with loud applause and cheers.

Campbell took on a school board member stating, โ€œWell, Iโ€™ve got news for you school board member Benito Mussolini, your power does not supersede that of the U.S. Constitution and the First Amendment rights of the citizens of this great nation.โ€

A local news reporter write about the story here: Pennsbury Editing Some Public Comments Out Of Board Meeting Videos

As of June 18, 2021 Pennsbury had posted video of of its March 18, 2021 and May 20, 2021 school board meetings on its website and these tapes say “edited due to content” in places. See http://video.pennsburysd.org/ (May 20th meeting at 35m10s & 1hr40m00s). What has been cut from the posted tapes is public comment by citizens opposed to critical race theory.

Pennsbury’s Director of Equity, Diversity & Education, Dr. Cherrissa Gibson, in an email dated March 20, 2021 at 2:20pm to Superintendent Gretzula and School Board President Toy-Dragoni, released under the Right-to-Know-Law, is seen promoting an agenda of censoring public comment with which she disagrees.

The school solicitor who tried to shout down my public comment is solicitor Michael Clarke of the law firm Rudolph Clarke LLC: https://rudolphclarke.com/meet-our-attorneys/michael-p-clarke/

A summary of the case law that I cited in my comments (1964’s landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in New York Times v. Sullivan) can be read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._Sullivan. My right to petition the Pennsbury School Board to terminate the employment of Dr. Gibson is a constitutionally protected Noerr-Pennington petitioning right under the First Amendment. See e.g. NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co., 458 U.S. 886, 914, 102 S.Ct. 3409, 73 L.Ed.2d 1215 (1982). https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=7271075303659098319

The United States, as the Supreme Court noted in NY Times v. Sullivan, is founded on the “profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.” The Pennsbury School Board is not allowed to enact a public comment policy that supersedes a higher law and there is no higher law than the United States Constitution. These government officials at Pennsbury mistakenly believe that all power in inherent in the Government. They are wrong. In the United States of America all power in inherent in the People.

In Harrisburg, PA State Representative Russ Diamond, has introduced House Bill 1532 that would make it illegal to teach public school students much of what constitutes Critical Race Theory. Read Rep. Diamond’s sponsorship memorandum here: https://www.legis.state.pa.us//cfdocs/Legis/CSM/showMemoPublic.cfm?chamber=H&SPick=20210&cosponId=35697
