Pennsylvania School Board Member to Parents: 'I Don't Work for You'

A Pennsylvania school board member, ostensibly disgruntled because parents are showing up at board meetings to voice concerns about education issues, penned an op-ed Sunday in which he responded, "I don't work for you."

Richard Robinson, a member of the York Suburban School Board, appears to long for the days when "Nobody showed up" to school board meetings.

Some members of my community appear to interpret this part of board meetings as the occasion to tell board members why they have the collective intelligence of a village idiot and how the school district ought to be addressing real problems.

You may also be surprised to learn every member of a school board is a taxpayer, too.

Presenting a list of grievances in his opinion column, Robinson criticized "Doctors" who offer public comments during school board meetings, but neglect to provide their credentials; parents who threaten school boards with lawsuits; parent "Bullies" who threaten to remove their children from school if mask mandates are not ended; and parents who claim they know what is best for their child.

Finally, Robinson states the "Most offensive and vile" of all individuals who comment at board meetings are "The charlatans who claim health and safety measures are responsible for destroying the mental health of children simply to justify their own social agenda."

Nicole Nelly, president of Parents Defending Education, told Fox News Digital Robinson was mocking parents.
