BENNINGTON â The Mount Anthony Union High School board voted 6-2 to censure fellow board member Edward Letourneau for comments he made earlier this year concerning race and racial issues, including Black Lives Matter.
Carrie Bond moved for Letourneauâs censure during the boardâs monthly meeting Wednesday night, and Leon Johnson seconded her motion. Voting yes were Bond, Johnson, chair Tim Holbrook, David Durfee, Amy Dobson and Ron Higgins. Voting no were Jackie Kelly and Fran Kinney.
None of those who supported the censure spoke before the vote.
Kelly said she voted no because the First Amendment is supposed to be âheld sacred.â
