'Anyone From Here Attending the Hate Festival'

A look at the day's comments from Patch account holders in the region.

From Brookfield Readers:

"better cure for insomnia than Brady Bunch reruns. Just repeat, "Marsha, Marsha Marsha" a hundred times : ]" —

"Anyone from here attending the hate festival in Monroe?" —

"I am surprised. Both Robin and Art are people who have publicly decried the tenor of current political discourse and “gotcha” politics. Yet both engage in it by spreading rumor and gossip. With regard to the President and first lady’s law licenses, here is what factcheck.org says: 

Q: Did Barack and Michelle Obama “surrender” their law licenses to avoid ethics charges? 
A: No. A court official confirms that no public disciplinary proceeding has ever been brought against either of them, contrary to a false Internet rumor. By voluntarily inactivating their licenses, they avoid a requirement to take continuing education classes and pay hundreds of dollars in annual fees. Both could practice law again if they chose to do so" —

From Neighboring Patch Towns:

"New Cannan police did the right thing. Arresting a bunch of kids is a poor use of their time and the courts. They let the parents handle it which is how it should be and how it was when I was a teen. Everything doesn't have to involve going to court st that age" -

"At least Mr Biden didn't marry his cousin, then married again, cheated on her, then married another bimbo. Is he still cross dressing?" -

 

"It is an issue when someone with hundreds of millions of dollars to throw around, would even consider the absurdity of cutting the MINIMUM wage of our hard working poor citizens." -

"People please. As soon as you leave your driveway, you are surrounded by idiots. You can use all the devices described above and guess what, an idiot will disregard them." -

"The kids have nothing to do so kill each other? Teenagers shouldn't need babysitters and to be kept entertained." -

"'You as a citizen will obey the laws of our country or be prepared to pay the penalty for its violation. ' 'You WILL observe the laws that have been created for societies benefit.' Add a German accent to that and it faintly reminds me of a certain German dictator....." -

"Jim have you ever eaten a chick-fil-a sandwich? They are pretty delicious :) I really don't get it. Would everyone really be happier if nobody ate there again, they closed all the restaurants, and that many more people were out of work?" -

"I haven't seen anone trying to sell magazines, but several denominations have rung the bell peddling salvation." -

Oh dont you worry, were gonna vote, but not going to vote to increase taxes thats for sure. Do withRead More what you have.

I would recommend supporting an increase similar to Ridgefield's which was under 2% (1.97%). If aRead More community like Ridgefield can perform at high levels with an increase under 2%, the Board of Education, in asking for almost twice that is openly admitting that they have installed inefficient management in school administration. Further, the sewer system on the referendum will require municipal funding since it is backed by the full faith and credit of the town of Brookfield and reduces the town's borrowing ability - the advertisement for which indicated it would not impact municipal funding.

So Mandarin Chinese won't be a requirement? Perhaps Manchurin Chinese? Cantonese Chinese? MongolianRead More Chinese? Which Chinese are the British speaking these days? Their empire stretched in the Hindu speaking parts of Asia but they aren't teaching Hindu. A quandry indeed.

The board of education's policy should pertain to all employees of the Brookfield Board ofRead More Education.

The short answer is because they want to. If you spent twice at much they still would. EducationRead More personnel need to be monitored on social media like Patch.

I will lend a hand by voting yes for the school budget this Tuesday, May 21st. Teachers should notRead More have to pay out of pocket for school supplies.

Interesting that representative Scribner fails to represent Brookfield's businesses choosing insteadRead More to focus on Ridgefields.
