So offensive.

When the parent addressing them, asked a show of hands if they were offended. Not a single one raised a hand.
I hope he succeeds in ousting all of them.

Yeah, that is about as much as I would expect in such a crony-filled situation.

One has to fight the urge to investigate the situation only to find out that those board members are all related as well. If not by blood, then certainly by belief.
