Arkansans…are you aware of the shame brought on your state?

These are the words of Clint McCance, a school board member in the Midland school district of Arkansas. He was a little bit annoyed that people in his school were wearing purple in remembrance of students who had been bullied into suicide.

Being a fag doesn't give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then don't tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. 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.

Huh. This is the kind of person Arkansans elect to run their schools? And he hasn't been tossed off the board yet? How…interesting.

There's a facebook page calling for his firing as well as an online petition. If you want to get more personal (but polite!), it's easy to find the contact information for the school district. They already have a disclaimer on their web page, but I don't think that's a sufficient response to such flaming bigotry.
