— At the start of Tuesday's Frederick County School Board meeting, Vice Chair Dianna Klein reminded the audience that the board's rules for public comment had changed since they last met. "Pursuant to the policy, all members of the audience, and speakers, are expected to be courteous to others ... and model for our students how to respectfully participate in public meetings by speaking and behaving in a manner that adheres to our code of student conduct," Klein said. "The student code of conduct prohibits the use of profanity or slurs against people based on their perceived race, ethnicity, color, national origin, citizenship, immigration status, weight, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation or disability. It also prohibits disruptive behavior that interrupts or interferes with the orderly conduct of this meeting." Violators can be ruled out of order or removed from a meeting for repeated violations. The board has spent the past few months crafting changes to this policy to support orderly meetings without raising concerns about free speech violations. In the meantime, public comments at the board's meetings have been contentious at times. Last month, tensions reached a boiling point when a speaker's inflammatory remarks — and the crowd's reaction — prompted two board recesses as the chairman struggled to maintain order. On Tuesday night, the updated policy was used to remove two people from the meeting. The first speaker to approach the lectern was Christie Scarborough, the same speaker whose comments prompted outrage last month. When she began her comments on Tuesday with a derogatory term for people with disabilities, Chairman Edward "Scott" Sturdivant immediately used his gavel, ruling her out of order. "The speaker is out of order and will conduct herself properly," Sturdivant said numerous times. When Scarborough continued despite Sturdivant's admonishment, Red Bud School Board representative Brian Erskine made a motion for the board to enter a recess, but the motion failed. "Alright, we'll stay here," Sturdivant said. "I'm telling you (Scarborough) you're out of order." "I'm telling you you're in violation of my First Amendment rights," Scarborough replied. "This is my three minutes. You signed up for this." Opequon District School Board representative Daryl Bell then walked away from the dais, which prompted Scarborough to use an expletive. Sturdivant then banged his gavel again and asked her to sit down. Scarborough, however, refused to leave the lectern. "Mr. Chair," said Klein, "she is in violation of our policy. She is in violation of our policy. This is a limited public forum." Scarborough continued to yell from the lectern, and Sturdivant asked her to leave the meeting. "I'm not leaving," Scarborough said. Klein told Scarborough that she needed to sit down, to which Scarborough responded, "Come and make me sit down, [expletive]." Sturdivant then asked Frederick County Sheriff's Office deputies at the meeting to escort Scarborough out. A second person, Shaun Porter, was also escorted from the meeting after he protested being taken off the list of public speakers. Sturdivant maintained that Porter does not meet the residency requirements to participate in public comments at the board's meetings. "You are not a resident of the commonwealth," Sturdivant said. "You're a resident of Maryland." Porter's social media presence shows that he often records confrontations with public employees and officials in Washington County, Maryland. On Tuesday, he paced in front of the dais holding paperwork he indicated was a lease that should allow him to speak. "I have a copy of my proof of residency right in my hand," he said. "I have a ratified lease agreement." Shawnee School Board representative Miles Adkins tried to ask if the board could see the lease. Erskine interjected, saying, "Mr. Chairman, point of order. This is not an appropriate exchange for a member of the public to have with the board at this time." Gainesboro School Board representative Frank Funes said more than once that he thought the board should let Porter speak. When Porter refused to sit down, Sturdivant asked the deputies to escort him out as well. As he left, Porter suggested he had grounds to file a lawsuit against the board. As the public comment period continued, some speakers celebrated the board's actions, while others viewed the removals as encroaching on free speech. Reached by phone Wednesday, Sturdivant said the School Board's policy allowed for Scarborough and Porter to be removed. "I am following what my legal counsel is telling me to do," he reiterated. When asked if Tuesday's events set a precedent that profanities and other foul language will not be tolerated during public comments moving forward, Sturdivant said that would be up to the board's next chair, who will be chosen in January.
