- (There is a shorter version of this video that excerpts the most offensive remarks. See: • Do not disrespect the ... )
Wichita school board president Betty Arnold lets the public know: "This board meeting is held in public, but it is not for the public, or of the public."
"This meeting is open to the public... but... it's not for the public."
Hypocrisy gone to seed.
Mr. Hess, please refrain from insulting this board, or you will be asked to go and stand in the corner. lolol
If I were a parent at that meeting, I would stand up and invite all in attendance to meet me outside to discuss recalling this corrupt board. I wouldn't mince words. Respect is earned.
If i were a parent at that meeting, i would invite that board to meet the parents out behind the gym!!!
@@Richard-vq7ud Damn Well said!!!🇺🇸
@@davidmoorea1961 Lol!
Does anyone know how this has turned out?
@@jonathangraham4092 im wondering too
Does this "lady" not realize that she is an elected official? Her only purpose is to serve the community. Period. She has absolutely no concept of what her job is or how to perform it in a professional manner. She should be ashamed of herself.
Lady,,,, LADY ??????????,,, not on that board,,, fire them all,,, ole USN vet
Robert Taylor ashamed and should take a look at herself on film then she might see what we all see she thinks that she is above ordinary people probably cause she has more money
Is this Board meeting in China? N. Korea? Or some other Communist country? Who is that Dictator interrupting every speaker?
that's what a narcissistic psychopath sounds like
taking money for a car?
claiming someone is lying when they are only stating the truth
In other words, "If we don`t agree with your opinion, You will be asked to
SIT DOWN & SHUT UP! Thank You...."
The parents have the right to speak!!
The chairperson is a disgrace. First she demands zero negative comments about any members of the board, then she allows a board member to make disparaging comments about an elected State Representative. The chamber reeked with the acrid smell of hypocrisy.
The sad thing is nowadays hypocrisy is the current trend.
WHERE are the other board members? SILENT while this woman railroads the meeting.
NO character. NO courage.
SHEEP
No truth, no applause, no respect from the board. That board president is a bit(h. I hope im not being unprofessional.

@@polinafishkin7361 why so many line feeds, Polina???
'If you say anything I don't like, sit down and shut up'. This dictatorial behavior. FIRST AMENDMENT.
I don't have a dog in this fight, know nothing about the issues and only stumbled on this by accident. I've managed or other wise run hundreds of public meetings. The board president obviously likes to hear herself talk, has contempt for the public participants and is a control freak and likely couldn't organize a birthday party. GET RID OF HER!!!
She keeps saying they’re being disrespectful. On the contrary, they were extremely respectful - she just didn’t like what they had to say.
Adm. Jaff: One more outburst (sorry, "outbreak" - of what?) like that, Admiral, and the room will be cleared. lolol
This BOE president is a dictator!
I can’t believe a whole community puts up with this. They basically told you people to shut up, they’ll do what they want.
I'm baffled how this 7-year-old video popped up in my feed, but I agree with the OP.
Yikes.
"This board meeting is being held in public, but it is not for the public or of the public. And I hope you understand that."
What an idiot. Supposals lol, I hope they fired the tyrant.
Please tell me that woman was not reelected. It's despicable her interrupting and censorship. She's untrustworthy.
Casey neistat
Sorry to interrupt, please don't criticize us in puiblic. It makes us feel bad.
Sorry to interrupt you can’t accuse us of what we actually did. That’s disrespectful.
The fact that she did all that interrupting proves their claims are true. I pray none of that board got re-elected
@Still Sidda that’s sad.
@Still Sidda Is she a "Maxine Waters" type of representative?
What that lady in glasses was basically saying was, "Ma'am, if you keep saying things I disagree with that aren't even inappropriate, you're going to have to leave." On a brighter note, the speakers are truly beautiful people who wish the best for their community and children. I hope they got their way.
That lady is a dictator, we don't want to hear from you unless you have something good to say about us, typical.
I would hope that the members of that school board no longer have jobs, they are a joke and a sad one at that.
They still there 10 years later lol
@@ganishnutinishnu7370 As with most governmental problems, the voters are the problem. Low information voters vote their feelings rather than taking time to become informed about issues, policies and positions.
@@eristicfreethinker2098 its embarrassing that they're still running for it every 4 years
Local School Boards...training grounds for future Douche Bag politicians.
MyComments834 basically
Yep
Yes but the school. Board is under financial distress from the State board of education unwillingness to fund the Wichita school system . So the local board is forced to consolidate the schools. See the last speaker on this video a member of the State board who never voted to adequately fund the Wichita school system. Yes the school board elected officials are monsters in the making and that is why voting for school board members is as important as voting for national offices but the unwillingness of the voting public to approve & vote for candidates willing to increase taxes to to adequately fund the schools is a problem. The problem
@@robertbrawley5048 has nothing to do with the fact this woman is a manipulative bitch
Amen
The fact that this video is on TH-cam should remind this person that actually it is public and world wide.
The chair has forgotten who they work for and needs reminded......
These parents who made a presentation were very respectful, knowledgeable and involved. I salute them. The board president is disgusting.
Likely a union boss!
That board president is a perfect example of a B and kammuunizt control.
They don’t care what the parents think! How can you have a job if you do nothing to help your boss!
She’s a sociopath. No doubt
When you don't know the difference between "outbreak" and "outburst"...
If the room is cleared, that violates open meetings laws.
This person has no business being in that position.
+800lbgrila Good one!
The only problem with your comment is who enforces the State open meetings law. That lies in the hands of the State Attorney's General. I was threatened to be arrested, removed from a City Commission meeting if I EVER spoke at another one in my city so I contacted the Kansas AG office and was told that the chairperson of an open meeting can run their meeting any way they want. My comments in those meetings were never profane nor derogatory toward any specific individual. They simply didn't like that I expressed one person's view (one of We The People) on many of the actual issues the commission wanted to vote on. These were actual issues, not merely procedural meeting minutiae.
The State AG just as well have told me to go pound sand.
There should be a codified law requiring every open meeting to have a public comment section either during or after the organizational group's discussion of a subject they will be voting on, excluding procedural minutiae, because having a public comment section AFTER votes have been cast and decisions have been made are fairly useless. Overturning a board's decision by vote can take months or even years.
you are a school board, NOT a judge and jury.
Ya they all sit up there like they are Supreme Court judges! Fire them let them be on unemployment. Get a reality check they are replaceable!
"I shall ask you again to not make any comments that I disagree with." So much for the First Amendment, I guess.
+ReligiousZombie What else do you expect from a Democrat?
+Shawn B I live in a smallish town in Texas, but I've lived in lots of other places before this. It's bad, but no worse than anyplace else. Cities all over the country are run by corrupt fools because nobody cares enough to find out who they are voting for, and because too many of the people who run do so to make money directly or indirectly from the decisions they make. In small towns, newspapers parrot the positions of the local patricians because that's who controls advertising (and without that, the newspapers would be out of business yesterday).
She was like a zombie bitch. I expecting her to say something like, “Do not say anything that I don’t like”. “Now you may take your seat”. LOL
Wow I can't believe this Woman. You can speak but not speak. She just doesn't want to anyone to know they are Corrupt.
@@markt857 We are a sovereign republic; our flag flies level with Old Glory.

An education is a terrible thing to waste....on someone like her.
Supposals be an Ebonic word. Is you raciss?
"No further outbreaks". A true genius.
That gal is like Delores Umbrage. Outwardly nice, but rotten in the core.
Seriously! I was just thinking the same thing!!!!
*hem hem*
This lady acts like a dictator. As the second speaker stated, she seems to be letting the words "go in one ear and out the other."
How in the hell do arrogant people like this get into these kinds of positions of power over others? If it weren;t for the oublic sector job market these people would just be additions to the wellfare roll because there are only so many openeings for bullys and little tyrants in the world.
Unbelievable arrogance
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Not always. Just in most cases. You can have a "good ruler/tyrant/dictator/king/president/etc., but once their term is up or their authority is relinquished, it's uncertain terrain all over again
where did the absolute come from.. the school districtit is not soviergn!
Power is magnetic to the easily corruptible.
she is demanding respect indeed ORDERING respect yet disrespecting those with the real power THE PEOPLE.
And looking this up Mrs. Arnold didn't even have a challenger in the election after this event. Very sad she wasn't even challenged.
How sad! A 7 year old have run and beat her.
Does the Constitution cease to exist within the confines of a Wichita Kansas public school board meeting? Are you kidding me? I'm 6 minutes in and mad as hell! I'll try my best to continue without using my own mind...
Angela Stacey
"I'll try my best to continue without using my own mind..."
How dare you! Who do you think you are!?
It's bad here..
Having been a school teacher and librarian, I have always been amazed at people who get elected to a school board, but seem surprised if they get any negative feedback, especially about spending. I am sure these people ran for the board with the intention of helping the students and teachers.
If the board would COMMUNICATE with the public on their reasons for what they do, things will go over a lot more smoothly, many of the parents would not have problems with board decisions if they understood the WHY of the decision. Even if the parents didn't like the reason, if they know the reasoning that brought about a certain decision, they might be satisfied.
This ELECTED BOARD is responsible to have open meetings, despite "her majesty" who said they didn't have to have open meetings. Her ROYAL HIGHNESS demanded the public show respect for the board, but she doesn't seem to respect the public that elected her. Typical politician!
You could just see that the tyrant doesn't really care what the parents are saying. Just going through the list until its time to go. Oh well... sucks to be all those parents.
How in the world did she become president. I would vote that lady out. They chose the wrong lady as president.
How can any town or city allow this to happen. It's a disgrace.
this is ridiculous wow.
You folks in that town need to petition for her removal. She is out of line. The public has every right to voice their displeasure with the board. Remember, they work for you.
Solution to the problems.... REMOVE all of those on the board and replace them with people who KNOW who the work for!
Someone needs to tell Betty to sit there and listen and shut up thats one problem women have to day they will not shut up, yes Betty they will be clapping if you can not handle it shut up.
Sir you have a good point but it's shrouded by your blatant sexism... Good job.
We would love to hear your comments so long as we agree with them.
Someone should tell that lead woman not to take herself so
seriously. No one else is. She might as well just say I'M THE BOSS
AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!!
No-one truly take this ignorance president seriously. Let's go Brandon lol
It's ironic that the entire "be respectful of the board" dissapeared the moment they started questioning the gentleman from the State board.
I'm frustrated and I don't live there!!!
The board is merely entertaining the speakers,they already made their mind up long before this open forum.
I think someone really likes to hear herself talk....
Who voted for Betty Arnold? She is arrogant and totally uninterested in the public's views and problems.
Who voted for her? Two people by the names of Affirmative Action and Government Racial Quotas. Welcome to DiversityLand.
Obama did...
That beast is a woman and black. If she was trans, it wouldn't need to be elected. It would just become the board president.
Lydia Dugan Affirmative action
b=BOY! YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
Dude I'ma start going to my towns school board and city council meetings who needs tv
The President of the Board reminds me of "Nurse Ratched" in the movie "One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest".
"I respect your opinions if they agree with mine that Emmerson Magnet is to be closed. All differing opinions are punishable by constant interruptions and thinly veiled threats."
Was I the only one that saw intimidation tactics being used in this "Public" Education Board meeting? What is this a courtroom where people are confessing to murders or something? And no clapping really? People- the parents- are just showing their support for their cause and for each other.
Cannot believe they reelected this Betty woman a few years later.
The sad thing is you posted your comment 4 years ago. I'm typing this in May 2022. The Biden regime is acting the same way this lady acted here. We, the People, mustn't allow this behavior to continue. We, as employers, must discipline these actions.
RIP USA
"Ms. Chapman may I interrupt you?" "Uh No!"
It is totally illegal to clear a Room in a school district open board meeting. Why didn't these parents bring that up? This woman should be recalled immediately
"Here are the rules under which you may exercise your right to free speech if you are one of the ten individuals who fulfilled the registration requirement we impose on those who want to speak"...
how is calling out lies disrespectful
How do you know she is a liberal. I hear see comments like this all the time. It's funny that you Republicans even can spell the word. Trump lies nearly everyday. From his own mouth but guys like you stand by him and then when you see something you don't like on the internet it's always liberal this or that. What in the hell does that have to do with this meeting? And who are you to call anyone anything that you don't know? I get it. It's the Republican thing to do to blame everything in this world on liberals. Your ignorance is laughable. I vote on who I think will do the best job. But at the end of the day NO political party shares all my views on government. And in my opinion that should be everyone's thinking as well. Furthermore, it sounds more like she is a Republican. Why do I say that? Because the NAACP primarily supports the Democratic party and they stood against the board and with the people. That goes to show you don't know crap.
The Ark *The only correction I'd like to make to what you said - is that far from Trump lying almost every day - his daily lie count has actually increased from an average of 6, to 9 verifiable untruths per day.
The last time I checked - he was well over the 3,000 lies mark, since he's been in office.
I'm being deadly serious. Anyone who doesn't believe me - please take 2 seconds to check that what I've said is absolutely true.
Betty...What in the hell are you talking about Betty...Having an opinion is neither liberal or conservative...What do the Clintons have to do with anything...GD you moronic baby boomers...Damn you all and may all of em like you go straight to hell..
Well Betty, in a way your writing is really ambiguous and to be honest, really didn't know what the hell you were talking about.. Gave it my best shot...Next time,drink a cup of coffee and clear that old baby boomer brain out...LMAO...
I watched the video twice Georgia boy..the super was out of control and I would have had a real problem with her as the ladies were very respectful....are you a racist? If you are I'll sure as hell call you one...
I hope the Chair is far gone by now. She’s an embarrassment to all that is open, transparent, or collaborative.
She still there, infact, she's got another 4 years 😳
Betty Arnold was finally voted off the island in 2017.
Henry Bankard thank God
A happy ending, albeit long overdue.
Henry Bankard Hallelujah . Now she can go become a cross guard and direct traffic seeing that she likes giving directions and orders .
and apparently elected to state wide office in December, 2020 to the state board of education....
RussLd3 Oh no!! Of course this power-hungry wench gets advanced to wield her higher power over her peasants!
I will allow you to speak, so long as you don't criticize. Liberalism silences your voice!
You’re last sentence is idiotic.
@@Kimberly63 Can't handle the truth, huh? FYI: Name calling shows your immaturity.
Does the 1st amendment not apply in that room?
Did u get the uneasy feeling that black woman is feeling.
Because she knows all the people are calling them out for being liars.
Why else would she interrupt the speaking.
What kind of crap do they think they are pulling
Sack them all and vote new ones in
It’s amazing how liars react when you call them liars. They so often take a non existent high ground. It winds me right up.
The President is not facilitating meeting appropaitly
This is a perfect example of what "Tar & Feathers" were for.
We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men and women, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion over others.
Ms soft spoken carries a sharp sword.
Loving to see the public standing up to those abusing power!!
I hope the board was quickly voted out!
From what I heard, Ms. Soft Sooken ran unopposed, which is sad.
Those are definitely idiot board members Let the people talk.
"Not for the public , and not of the public...."
This particular school board needs to be dismantled and SUED !!!!!!!!!!!
IN AN OPEN COURT , ON PUBLIC RECORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are a slave to the corporation, not a citizen, remember that no applause is allowed!!!!! YOU MUST OBEY!!!
That chairperson is disgusting! She’s horrible! Shame on her!!!
The meeting is being held in public but is not for the public?? what does that mean? Seriously..
Its all a set up.
It means the "president" who said that needs education in basic logic.
Jack Hecked it sounds bad, but she’s correct.
I wonder if being forced to go to a big city school is a code word for something else.
Oh, and by the way, unless we have a “closed session” (which is a very narrowly and highly scrutinized category), the public is allowed to attend ANY quorum meeting (where we have a majority of our board members together) including ANY AND ALL WORK SESSIONS and COMMITTEE MEETINGS. In fact, the school reporter for our local newspaper attends almost every one of those meetings and reports on them.
Board prez: ma'am please do not call us fires
Speaker: I said liars
Board prez: oh well, then don't call us that either
dictators, we the people require more than 30 minuets of your time. your highnesses.
"I must have order" Delores Umbridge!
Oh man, I would have grabbed my copy of the US Constitution, Threw it up in the air *in my hands ofcourse* and stated this gives me the God given RIGHT to voice my opinion of PUBLICLY APPOINTED officials, that she has NO authority to silence that at a public hearing.
PREACHHHHH
SILENCE! THERE WILL BE NO JOY OR SHOWS OF SUPPORT IN THIS ROOM!!
"No further outbreaks" Is this an educator?
Amazing how this woman leading this meeting can run her mouth at will. But limits the time and contents of all other's words. First amendment rights are quite limited in this town.
Calling a spade a spade is not disrespectful; it's called telling the truth. When officials object to citizens speaking the unvarnished truth, something is very wrong with these officials, and they should be voted out.
yesumm boss lady no mam boss lady talk about a power freak
School boards everywhere need to be TOLD who they work for!!! The notion that can tell people they work for is ludicrous!!!
Sure is hung up on herself, Wow!
i feel sorry for those parents........im from scotland and tbh if this happened in scotland someone would have been arrested for harming the chairwoman .............. there would have been a riot
Since it's not included in the description, she says the "not for the public" line right after the 14:30 mark. Also, things get only slightly heated beginning at 29:35. It never gets to shouting, fighting or anything really crazy like you see in other videos.
Direct violation of Constitutional rights. ALL school board meetings will be public, ALWAYS! NO decisions will be made in the absence or ignorance of parents.
One question ~ is this and every school board function supported by taxpayer, mandated funding? Case closed! Only Open Forum rules apply!
Board president is an example of what’s wrong all over our great country. She’s not interested in hearing anything from the parents. She knows best be damned, and doesn’t play well with others.
We seem to have lost our democracy to the corporations who seem to run our country.
its called plutocracy
So sad when elected officials totally disregard the people's views. This is just shameful on this board.
Technically that lady didn't make any accusations about the board, because she used the word "if"
But even a hypothetical is apparently on accusation when you're on a power trip
The chairperson is a disgrace. Shame on her. Typical.
These local meetings with petty tyrants in charge are really a microcosm of the overgrown bureaucracy that is government. Honestly we should get the government out of education and make things local and privatized. Let the best ideas win and they'll catch on without anyone mandating them.
How on earth did this clown even win an election?
this council does Not go by or respect the constitution
I never been to an school board meeting But why would they have been so mean to the public I understand they have 3 mins but they have so mean to public........
Wow! Well trained, smooth talking(Ugh), Puppet on a string!
And if that cop had any balls and truly upheld his oath, he would tell that lady to SHOVE IT and that they were withing their full rights to tell her whatever they wanted.
When you try to stifle the most mild of comment, you've already shown your hand.
trufe
That was a setup man when they asked that dude if he was speaking as a representative or an individual. I swear Madam smackdown was smiling when he said “state representative”. She was like “ooooo we gonna get this dude!!” Scotty get your question ready cuz I’m coming to you next!
She sure love to listen to herself...
I’m a school board member and I ALWAYS keep in the front of my mind: I WAS ELECTED TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE IN OUR DISTRICT. The children, staff, and parents deserve my time, attention, thought, research, and conscience. And I listen to EVERY student, parent, staff member, and stakeholder. It IS true that “open meeting” means we hold our meetings in public and that we cannot legally have a back and forth with the public unless we’ve invited them to speak on the agenda or designated a meeting as a “town hall”. But we DO allow the public to speak as long as they do not speak about a specific employee or student. I’ve NEVER seen anyone interrupt and shutdown public speakers like this board president. This was infuriating to sit through!!!
Interesting that the board doesn't want to hear anything from the citizens who they are supposed to represent!
Wow!
Talk about all silencing people and taking away their FREEDOM OF SPEECH! Just because you _DON'T_ "like" what somebody says, _DOESN'T_ mean you have the right to silence them! This was truly disgusting!
