Arkansas school board member officially resigns over anti-gay post
Source: http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/11/01/arkansas.anti.gay.resignation/

A school district member in Arkansas who came under fire for an anti-gay post on a social networking site formally submitted his resignation to the school board Monday, according to the Midland School District superintendent.

The board unanimously voted at a specially called meeting to accept Clint McCance's resignation, Superintendent Dean Stanley said.

McCance, then vice president of the school district in Pleasant Plains, wrote on his personal Facebook page that he wanted gay people to commit suicide, according to The Advocate, a newspaper focusing on gay news.

McCance used the terms "queer" and "fag" repeatedly, promised to disown his own children if they are gay and stated that he enjoys "the fact that give each other AIDS and die." . . .

5. How can a dead person blame someone?
Maybe you meant McCance's family speaking on the dead Clint's behalf. I wish McCance well in finding a job in this crummy economy. There's a Kentucky Fried Chicken a few blocks away, I guess.
