Iowa City School Board members react to "disgusting" messages sent to board members

Why I'm looking outside this state for future employment part one trillion.

School board members in Iowa City say they are disappointed in some members of the public after the district chose to move to online classes to start the school year.

School board members received multiple e-mails that some on the board say were targeted and racist.

“The board made a very difficult decision to open up the schools online the Fall,” said Shawn Eyestone, the President of the school board for the Iowa City Community School District. “Which was immediately met kind of across the board with all sorts of reactions.”

“Some of them turned even nastier than just sort of anger and disappointment in the decision. To being outright racist,” Eyestone said.

to understand why any parent would complain about a school system trying to do what is best for their students.
But then again, it is SO VERY DIFFICULT to understand why anybody would ever vote for BunkerBoy....
