Fox5DC ^ | 11/22/2017 | Paul Wagner

Posted on 11/22/2017 5:47:22 PM PST by ForYourChildren

A Virginia school board chairman is getting attention on social media for his comments on President Donald Trump and standing for the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem

Ryan Sawyers, who is Chairman of the Prince William County School Board, said in a tweet on Monday: "Your are not required to stand for the national anthem or pledge. There will be no action taken against you for choosing to not stand or participate. Our President is a bonafide idiot but you are safe in PWCS."

Attention PWCS students and staff. Your are not required to stand for the national anthem or pledge. There will be no action taken against you for choosing to not stand or participate.

Our President is a bonafide idiot but you are safe in PWCS. https://t.co/GMO1NIWYAa — Ryan Sawyers (@RyanSawyersVA) November 20, 2017

Sawyers spoke to FOX5's Paul Wagner, and says he didn't expect his tweet to get the attention that it did.

Our President is a bonafide idiot.

I think Trump appreciates this attitude toward him.

Art of the Deal.

“Your are not required ... you are safe in PWCS”

Well, it’s clear that the snowflakes are not safe in any belief they’ll learn correct English in this leftwing safe place.

“Your are not required to stand for the national anthem or pledge.”

He should be fired for the poor grammar.

Some people need to live in fear that anytime they show their faces in public some otherwise upstanding, law abiding citizen will kick their ass right into the middle of next week.

This jerk*** is one of those people.

Well, maybe if conservatives in Prince William County were to get up off their fat, Mammon-worshipping, useless asses and show up at the next schoolboard meeting by the thousands to demand Sawyers’ resignation, conservatism might be advanced one-inch in Virginia.

I cannot begin to fathom the president of my local school board Tweeting that Obama was a bonafide (sic) idiot. I truly can’t.

(Plus, unlike this moron, he probably knows that “bonafide” is “bona fide.”)

Well, his side did win the VA election.
Maybe VA should secede again, and take Washington DC with them.

Ryan Sawyers is the idiot, it’s not about the law but plain decency and patriotism.

Prince William school board votes to censure its chairman over ethics

Sep 21, 2017

http://www.insidenova.com/news/education/prince_william/prince-william-school-board-votes-to-censure-its-chairman-over/article_da042df8-9f0e-11e7-a287-ef1d2f718dcd.html

Four members of the Prince William County school board voted Wednesday to publicly rebuke At-Large Chairman Ryan Sawyers, charging that he revealed legally privileged information in his latest legal action that targets a school division official.

After a lengthy closed-door discussion, the board voted 4-2 to censure Sawyers over claims that he violated the board’s “Code of Ethics” when he made public in legal filings last week several email exchanges between board members and division counsel Mary McGowan.

Looks like there will be no Saving Ryan as he does not know when to keep things private.

Now he is getting hammered on the twit and it might be the door for him.

It’s never been required that you stand because you have a 1st Amendment right not to, brought to you by people who are very proud to stand.
