Meeting between school board, commission chairman doesn't go well 

He began by reading scripture then went against what he just read. So I can only assume it was read in hopes to control how others would conduct themselves and did not apply to him. What a shame.

Seperation of church and state.

"I wanna thank everyone for being here this morning.....[so I can now go ahead and waste y'all's time]."

The man that started out the meeting with the Bible quotes should maybe take a closer look at those scriptures because they teach a gospel contrary to his behavior of being rude to other people. His behavior with his lack of working with the other gentleman was not the way the Lord would conduct himself given the same situation. Can you say Hypocrite????

This meeting is a classic example of a “Little Caesar” quoteing scripture to lord over a meeting. Cannot stand to have his authority ( perceived) challenged.

Any time you want to exclude people from public forums or meetings, it just reeks of you want to hide something, or slip something through! That does not lend itself well to transparency, and openness!

The guy in the suit is just your regular power tripper that’s been in power to long and thinks he runs the world

The press should not have to leave the room since it is a public meeting.

The moment he read those Bible passages prior to the meeting we knew this was going down! I'd venture to say the moment you hear humans start to quote you Bible verses, get ready to run! Lol!

The sweater vest brings this man great knowledge, authority, and power

You know, it's hard enough to be in a position of authority and then have that authority marginalized by an equal, especially in front of the press. But to have that kind of pressure AND be an elected official, responsible for the concerns of a constituency would have made me melt down into shouting. Chairman Miller's focus and decorum was more than admirable. And he did it without God on his side, as he should have done. I hope the press reported him as the more concerned man.

Putting papers on the Bible and using it for political gains is highly offensive if not blasphemous.

If any meeting ever started like this I would immediately get up and make fun of the guy.

The Bible thumper talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk.

When I see a guy with a Bible at a public board meeting, I immediately know he's a crazy man.

Nice scripture reading. Bad scripture following.

IMHO, I don't understand people running for public office, and then don't want public debate on issues - especially, from other elected individuals (people elected their representatives, so please let representatives speak, their are speaking for hundreds, if not thousands of people). In a democracy, let people speak their minds. Again, if you don't want to practice free speech, especially in a democratic society. So, almost needless to say, I commend the public official that wanted to conduct business in front of the press; we just have way to many meetings behind close doors that should be done in full view of the public, which elected them to office, in the first place.

The one that read the Bible verses is the one causing strife.

When you read a passage from the Bible then refuse to honor said passages that says a lot about a man and his dignity! I'm not sure what he had to hide from the press but something was really fishy about his actions in this meeting 🤔

This guy is no doubt a southern Baptist deacon

What is the problem having the press ? What a jerk

What about separation of church and state?

I get to adjourn this meeting, no I get to adjourn it. Power tripping

Starts a school board meeting by reciting scripture. For Christ's sake. God bless America.

i am a christian and i don't believe bible versus belong in government meetings god is great don't get me wrong but it would be easy to show respect for those who either don't believe or are of different religion

Beginning a SCHOOL board meeting with religious blabbering from his favorite book? How ridiculous

Perfect example of a pissing contest. No wonder nothing gets done.

Long Live America And American Democracy

Guy in vest growing pinker by the minute 😂

Is reading religious scripture appropriate at a government meeting

Let's take the scripture out of context.....typical politicians

Good grief church or civil meeting?

An opening prayer is bad enough. But gaslighting scripture?

Lol!!! He calls himself a commissioner? FIRE his ass ... must be a democratic

his ears!!! OMG looks like yoda!!!!

The people have the wright to know we pay there salary this guy think's he's above every one " fire him " !!

As soon as he started reading scripture I knew he was going to be the jerk in this meeting! The bible also shows that the devil knows the scripture as well.

According to Chairman Miller, his position as chairman is equal in authority to the position held by Chairman Sides. Miller wanted a meeting between them, which would normally be open to the press. Apparently, Sides decided on the scope, topic, and status of the meeting alone, ignoring Miller’s authority and input. Sides did it again, at the end, when he decided the meeting was cancelled and would not bother to listen to Miller’s objection to the situation.

When they open the bible and start reading different verses it's going to be bad

I don’t see how prayer helped in any of that.

The lack of respect and decorum is what is going on here. When he didn't get his way...the meeting was "canceled"

Little Caesar has spoken!

Buy- bull is bs.

Never trust a guy with a tie that wide and a bible as a weapon...js

Nothing but a pissing match

Why not read from the Viz

Separate church and state??????

We're is the separation of church and state ??

Kids speak this way. "Then he said....and i said that he said...so i said....ect. Grown-ups in suits speak this way. I stated that...i got an answer that...then i replied...when he stated...ect. Its just kids speaking. Thats all it is. A chairman that is a religious extremist. yes, that is very healthy....

Why is there Bible reading at these board meetings? Remove anyone who does brings religion into a public board meeting!!! Why is this allowed???

"An equal chair" sounds rife with problems.

The guy with the bible should stay in his church and out of school administration.

Ouch..

Salisbury where?

These two children are expected to meet and acr like adults...doubt that happens. They both are power-tripping. Blah..blah..blah..blah..blah..blah..

Richard Miller and Miss Norman.. LOL

whats michael cane doing there

I'm late but religion does upper cede the constitution

That is the South for you. Reading verses from a bible at a public meeting? That is crazy and I am a religious person!

These dip sh***

Separation of Church and State..... that buzzing sound is the Forefathers spinning in their graves.

Jim Sides appears as the Bible Toting Executioner ..... the reading of Scripture holds the same weight as a truck load of prayers. Only the faithful absorb what floats unseen around us while actual work in the face of others will show progress and glean favor from those that appreciate a good days work done. Progress.

First mistake was starting with the reading of a man made book of fiction.

Lovers tiff!!

A evil masonic 1 used thy Masters book 2 start this what a piece of work.

I like the short guy
