Editor\u2019s Note: This \u201cMooning\u201d concept, showing disrespect, disregard, scorn or protest, was mentioned in my last article regarding the Sheriff\u2019s Department. There is more to it than just going \u201cButt\u201d Naked.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This past weekend I received a call from a person that I personally know that has become totally irate at the School Board and has said so. Many times.<\/p>\n

This person is irate that School Board member Danny Blanton, duly elected by the citizens of Cleveland County has to sign up for Public Participation just to get a three-minute chance to say things that the Board doesn\u2019t want to hear. Refuses to hear-The truth. You can tell they (the others on the School Board) don\u2019t want to hear the truth because they won\u2019t ever allow Danny Blanton to speak. Or allow him to have an item on the school board agenda; a \u201cright\u201d every other school board member has, but never uses. So, Danny Blanton was totally correct to use the public participation law in order to speak for the citizens of Cleveland County. And Blanton has done well.<\/p>\n

There is more, much more for this person and every other citizen and taxpayer in Cleveland County to be irate about regarding the School Board.<\/p>\n

The School Board has NEVER replied during open session to any person regarding any problem that any person has brought before them under Public Participation. That is counting Danny Blanton. This is a prime example of the School Board showing a complete disrespect and disregard for the citizens of Cleveland County.<\/p>\n

The School Board wastes tax dollars with wild abandon. Well over $12Million worth or waste at Shelby Middle School and North Shelby School construction. Likely $millions waste regarding the credit card scandal where nobody went to jail. Probably the most egregious waste coming out Cleveland County Schools is the thousands of students that have been cheated out of a proper education at CCS because of crazy do nothing programs that miseducate students as well as the removal of vocational classes from CCS that deprive students of needed job skills. All, despite many warnings and complaints from the public. A blatant example of disrespect and disregard to the citizens of Cleveland County. So, in effect, the School Board and CCS administration have been \u201cmooning\u201d the citizens of Cleveland County all along-figuratively speaking. \u201cMooning,\u201d figuratively speaking by the school board to the citizens. The Sheriff\u2019s Department too. The Commissioners, Cleveland Community College, the DA\u2019s Office, DSS, The Health Department. All \u201cMooning\u201d us in wanton disregard.<\/p>\n

So, when the person called me over the weekend, stating she was thinking about turning all this disrespect and disregard around on the school board by \u201cmooning\u201d (literally) the school board back at a school board meeting seemed to me was fully justified, but maybe not wise. She might get arrested for indecent exposure. And I said so.<\/p>\n

The caller then stated she had done some research and found that \u201cmooning\u201d is NOT illegal in North Carolina. Mooning is NOT indecent exposure under NC law as long as the \u201cfront side\u201d is not exposed. Even Federal Courts have ruled that \u201cmooning\u201d is a legal exercise of one\u2019s First Amendment Rights to Free Speech. From her conversation, I realized that was actually serious about actually and literally \u201cshining\u201d her backside on the School Board sometime soon. To give them a dose of their own medicine.<\/p>\n

My advice was to think of some other way to \u201cmoon\u201d the school board without actually baring anything. Maybe one of those long tee-shirts with a cartoon \u201cbackside\u201d on it. Something that would get the message across to the foolish school board without running the risk of an arrest. As that would be likely, even if the charges couldn\u2019t stick.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the person sent me some of her legal references saying she was still considering doing the real thing.<\/p>\n

I was hoping this would be the end of it, but thinking this \u201cmooning\u201d the school board might actually happen. So, I did a little research myself.<\/p>\n

The first thing I did was to google \u201cMooning tee shirts.\u201d The first thing that popped up was this \u201cMooning\u201d tee shirt available on Amazon. See the image at the end of this article. I thought this was an \u201cartful\u201d way to express \u201cMooning\u201d without being vulgar and \u201clow-class\u201d as the Butt Naked original version. No skin, back or front, is exposed to support even a phony arrest chard charge of \u201cindecent exposure\u201d while still getting your point across.<\/p>\n

Further investigation on the internet encyclopedia says \u201cMooning is used in the English-speaking world to express protest, scorn, disrespect, disregard or provocation.\u201d Therefore, is proper for me to say the Sheriff\u2019s Department \u201cmooned\u201d the citizens of Cleveland County when they brought back the female officer charged with crimes and put her on the Sheriff\u2019s Department Honor Guard and displayed her in a Christmas Parade.<\/p>\n

It is certainly proper for me to say that the School Board, Cleveland Community College Board of Trustees, the city of Shelby City Council \u201cMooned\u201d the citizens and taxpayers of Cleveland County by showing their disregard and disrespect for the tax payers and citizens by their wasteful spending and shutting off citizens from having their opportunity to actually participate in the CCC Bot meeting citizens participation part of the agenda.<\/p>\n

So, why not \u201cMoon\u201d this corrupt crowd back every chance we get. Tastefully, artistically and figuratively \u201cMoon\u201d them by showing up for their phony meetings wearing a \u201cMooning\u201d tee shirt that lets them know with certainly that we are protesting their disregard and disrespect for us. Signing up for Citizens Recognition and stand there for a full three minutes, smiling at them without saying even one word would get your point across. And then following-up by \u201cMooning\u201d them out of office on Election Day. The ultimate \u201cMooning\u201d demonstration that disgraced and defeated former Chairman of the County Commissioners, Eddie \u201cMassa Eddie\u201d Holbrook, received in the 2018 elections. An effective \u201cMooning\u201d that cleans up corruption at the same time.<\/p>\n

This certainly makes one think that a tasteful and artistic \u201cMooning\u201d symbol of protest may be a good tool for our coming boycotts, protests and demonstrations during this 2020 election cycle?? It also identifies a movement with unity aplenty. Think about it.<\/p>\n

Also, the double moon on this attached picture of a Tee-Shirt could be replaced with a single moon to show unity of purpose. And still get the point across.<\/p>\n
