Is it acceptable or legal for the Board of Education to delete comments made on their Facebook when live streaming the meeting? I mean out of 21 comments they've all been deleted except 6 comments. They live stream it, but whoever runs their Facebook sits and knocks off any thing they don't want the public to see or read. They are considered a taxing body, are they allowed to do this. They do it all the time.
They live stream the meeting each time. Anyway during the meeting people watching the meeting on the GCSD Facebook page can make comments on the content of the meeting. Some will ask a question, some will just say watching letting the board know who is present for the streaming. There is a running count of the comments from those watching the meeting. You will look up and it will say 12 comments but 10 will have been deleted. Then it might say 16 comments but all but 4 have been deleted.
After the meeting is over, the live stream of the meeting will be posted onto their Facebook page. And like always The comment count is pretty high, but most of the comments have been deleted by who ever is manning the Facebook page during the meeting.
It's like this every time. I'm sorry but I'm wanting to see those comments and under what right or rule are they allowed to delete public comments? Does that make sense??? We pay taxes to this district and I dont think they should be able to delete an unpopular question or comment. But I might really be off the mark here.
