Submitted by Thomas Budds –

Special Investigative Grand Juries are authorized by state law and empowered to look-into the procurement and distribution of certain materials to minors as well as misconduct by public employees, and elected officials; we need one convened now concerning school libraries statewide. School Board decisions are inconsistent, undermining the law and statewide efforts to abate child access to sexually explicit books. We need to determine if continuing procurement and access issues are “systemic”, or intentional acts by people to violate state law; an investigative Grand Jury can make correction recommendations as well as indict wrongdoers.  

Last week, Rutherford County “GOP” School Board members Stan Vaught and Butch Vaughn joined with Chairwoman Claire Maxwell voting to make books with sexually explicit language available to minors. What constitutes explicit sexual language was openly discussed, with examples given, in committee hearings in the capitol when writing this law; the law is clear, but these school board members’ moral clarity is not. Adults can go to bookreviewrc.com to see what some GOP “leaders” think is ok for our kids, or go to YouTube about last Thursday’s hearing, September 19^th.

These three “GOP Elitists” were elected to apply moral values on our behalf when making decisions concerning our kids, but instead of helping our community flush the “cultural toilet”, they voted to add more crap to the bowl! 

Stan Vaught put on the “good-old-southern-boy” act as he proposed making ALL the sexually explicit material available to minors in a “special reading area” missing the moral point altogether.  Frustrated, he said, I thought I was going to be dealing with “building” things, not this kind of stuff. Smells like the board’s code of ethics regarding construction may need public reviewing for the newly elected members. We wouldn’t want the same misunderstanding concerning “building things” as we witnessed concerning sexually explicit books.

Butch Vaughn comported himself much like the democrat’s presidential candidate with confused mumbling word salads, appearing to often look across the horseshoe arranged tables for a nod or a wink from Mr. Vaught for guidance on how to vote, as Vaughn demonstrated moral chaos.

Chairwoman Claire Maxwell outraged many in attendance as she voted to furnish, ALL the sexually explicit books to our minor school children. She absolutely “STUNNED” most attendees when, in her prepared closing statement she said, “I prayed a lot about this decision” “suggesting” God had influenced her to conclude that ALL the sexually explicit books be made available to minors. Some gasped out loud, what “god” was she praying to, blasphemy?

Governor Lee should petition the TN Attorney General to convene a “Special Investigative Grand Jury”, forthwith, to examine the schoolbook procurement and distribution process so they can “INDICT” those continuing to violate state law including those hiding behind an “elected” status; no one is above the law.

All three GOP should be recalled and never again be allowed to run on the Republican ticket. Their culturally “leftist votes” constitutes moral malfeasance, separation from the GOP platform, and a stab in the back of our children.

I suggest the adult readers of this article go to bookreviewrc.com to see exactly how you and our children were betrayed; form your own opinion then demand a recall and Grand Jury!
