Thank you, Mr. Fulton, for showing the courage to follow your conscience in addressing the Board. We are inspired.
"In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience—the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men—each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. Each man must look into his own soul. Stories of courage…can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration." John F. Kennedy

Did I misunderstand Pat Massey after Mr. Fulton spoke up for our group that he wasn't allowed to have an opinion inside the school board meeting? Although that wasn't his direct quote it's definitely how I took it. Thank you Mr. Fulton for standing up for what's right. None of the rest seem to remember that it is the people that were at the meeting who got them there. Although I only get to vote for one person in upcoming election for school board you can bet I will be enlightening other voters on the lack of representation from the current members.

Thanks so much Mr. Fulton!!!!!!!! It seems as though our board member, Shane Campbell, should have said something! We really appreciate all you have done for us. You are our only voice right now! Thanks again, Mr. Fulton!

Mr. Fulton, you did a great job at the board meeting. Thank you for having the backbone to voice your opinion. Looks like the other members haven't developed one yet.

Mr. Fulton showed us what a real man is. I am so proud that our sons and daughters were there to see such a shining example. They should develop into better citizens by just being in the same room with him. He must have felt very alone when he was told he couldn't have an opinion and when the other members still sat stone faced. Thank you Mr. Fulton for standing up for what is right, even when you have to do it alone.
