A thing of beauty - Board member called out of Lee H.S. renaming

[packman]

SORRY - unable to post video at the site- A MUST SEE one.



Baton Rouge School Board member Connie Bernard's lost the confidence of her colleagues after she was called out for ignoring an intense discussion about race -- and that's A-OK with the guy who dragged her in the first place.

Activist Gary Chambers Jr. came on ''TMZ Live'' Monday to talk about his verbal ass-whooping of Connie last week. The viral video ended with Connie storming out of the public meeting after Gary went in on her.

I caught this on Democracy Now this morning.

4. Mr Chambers needs to run for office. He is great!

8. A blistering rage controlled/directed by facts, logic, history, and an ability to...

concisely and articulately put it all together.

I agree with you completely. His community/state NEEDS him...and others like him.

(On edit: How is Connie ever going to show her face at the meetings again after this? Evidence, then she lies, then evidence of THAT lie. Man, if that was me, I'd be moving to another state TODAY, and hire some movers to come for my stuff later. Hah! A thing of beauty!)

5. Truly a thing of beauty.

Gary Chambers Jr needs to have a job in a place of power.

9. There is also a video of this same Connie Bernard trying to choke her 18 year old neighbor...

She's drunk as a skunk in that video. She has problems, that's for sure.

Connie Bernard in August of 2018 walked into a neighbors home because she heard music, and assaulted a young man. She was issued a summons and has since plead not guilty to charges of entering and remaining after forbidden, and simple battery. East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore waited months before filing charges against the sitting East Baton Rouge Parish School Board Member, in an attempt to give her attorneys time to present information on her behalf.

Here is the problem. Bernard walked in a neighbors unlocked door, confronted the group of teens and was asked to leave. She refused, and not only did she refuse, she assaulted an 18 year old while there — placing her hands around his neck attempting to choke the young man.

After the fire storm of people calling for her to resign from the school board, Bernard resigned as Vice President of the board, but continues to serve. Some would say, that is good enough but is it? There were calls for Bernard to resign from the school board from conservatives and liberals alike. Bernard has arrogantly refused to resign giving the situation little attention. One of the major issues is, Bernard is elected to represent young people on the school board, but she’s been caught on video assaulting a young person and she’s still there.

This speaks to a larger problem of accountability. We don’t have to wonder if Connie Bernard did what she is accused of doing, its on video. We don’t have to wonder if she was wrong for walking in a neighbors home without permission she was issued a summons. What we do have to wonder is why have we allowed her to remain all these months later? Why is Baton Rouge okay with a woman who assaulted a teenager sitting on the school board?
