the boards regular meeting In a prepared statement read by trustee Edna Robinson the board strongly criticized Renaissance and lis chairman Rev Campbell for alleged dishonesty and distortion We deplore the methods of dishonesty and distortion which have at times been used by Rev Campbell and by other members of the Renaissance Committee Miss Robinson stated The quality of the dialogue between this board and the public Is of vital Importance to our ability to serve our students and the community Any attack against the effectiveness of our democratic processes Is an assault on the freedom of our society Deliberate dishonesty in misinforming the public about matters of deep public concern Is such on attack The board now has a clear need to speak in affirmation of Its principles Its objectives and In support of the strong committment and effort of its staff In attaining those objectives It la for these reasons that we now rebuke Rev Campbell and the Renaissance Com mittee for persistent dishonesty and personal abuse in the deliberate misinformation of the public The board also noted In the statement that possible results of such deliberate jn Is Information and personal vilification could Include risk of uninformed public abuse of classroom teachers resulting In reduced teaching effectiveness damage to the openness of dialogue between the board and the public restriction of general freedom by Imposing the will of one group on all in education The statement was made by Miss Robinson as chairman of a special hoc committee investigating allegations made by Rev Campbell In a letter sent to education minister Tom Wells other and the regional press That letter was sharply critical of a statement reportedly made by Dr John Meyers who is heading up the boards values education program at an Oakville home and school meeting The ad hoc committee of the board was set up to investigate Dr Meyers reported statement and Rev Campbells subsequent letter to the education minister After speaking to 20 people who attended that meeting the ad hoc committee concluded that Rev Campbells letter contains at least one untrue statement and several misrepresentations of facta That was contested by Rev Campbell who was present to hear the report but did not reply to the board Later angrily calling he boards statement utterly ridiculous Rev Camp bell said that be hadnt been contacted by ad hoc committee during its three weeks of investlglion of Dr Meyers reported statement They call that a factfinding committee when they havent even contacted me to comment They havent even talked to either Mrs Read or Mrs Hansford who claim that Dr Meyers made those statements They were Just looking for the facts they wanted to find He termed the report the kangaroo situation thats bouncing tonight Its despicable to be worthy of a reply I had hoped Tor better things Rev Campbell did say that be was not planning to take any immediate action against the board for their statements In a recoNcd vote the trustees unanimously supported the resolution In a letter to board chairman Judy Alexander a copy of which was released to the press Monday morning Rev Campbell requested that he receive a hearing before the board at its next meeting this Thursday evening so that we might have the basic Canadian right to a trial before being con demned or at
