There were 40 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question, “Should Frank Edelblut be fired for his remarks to a conservative activist group?” The majority of responses didn’t think he should be fired with only six people saying that he should be.
Of course not. The Commissioner of Education has the right and responsibility to talk to all people about the best ways that they could raise and have their children educated. It’s unfortunate and sad, and shame on all those socialists that want to remove him, including The Conway Daily Sun. The commissioner was just talking to parents, not any group. This is Jim Gallagher in Conway
