FOUR NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. SPEAKER HUNDREDS PACK A DEARBORN SCHOOL TONIGHT IN DISCUSSING
BANNING BOOKS, SOME IN
ATTENDANCE, BOOING THOSE IN
FAVOR OF KEEPING THE BOOKS AND
THOSE VOICING SUPPORT FOR LGBT
Q. 20 OF PUNCHES THROWN BACK AND
FORTH TONIGHT IN GRAND RAPIDS.
SHE’S GOING TO TRY TO ATTACK ME
TONIGHT TO DISTRACT FROM HER
BROKEN PROMISES GOVERNOR
GRETCHEN WHITMER AND TUTOR DIXON
SHARING THE STAGE FOR ONE HOUR,
WITH BOTH CANDIDATES TRYING TO
PAINT THE OTHER AS RADICAL. MRS
DIXON IS EITHER HOPEFULLY UNDER
INFORMED ABOUT THE OFFICE SHE’S
RUNNING FOR OR SHE’S LYING TO
YOU. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
MICHIGAN HISTORY. TWO WOMEN HAVE
THE GUBERNATORIAL NOMINATIONS OF
THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES MEETING
TONIGHT ON A DEBATE STAGE IN
GRAND RAPIDS. MARA MACDONALD
LIVE THERE AT THIS HOUR AND MARA
TONIGHT’S DEBATE COMES JUST 26
DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY. WE HAD
TO WAIT A WHILE TO GET HERE FOR
THIS FIRST ONE. DE’VEON I’LL
TELL YOU. WHAT IF ANYONE THOUGHT
THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE SOME
SORT OF KINDER, GENTLER DEBATE,
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TWO WOMEN
HELMING THE TWO MAJOR PARTIES
HERE THEY WERE SADLY MISTAKEN.
TAKE A LOOK. FOR MANY OF YOU.
IT’S THE FIRST TIME YOU’RE
HEARING FROM ME DIRECTLY.
DIXON’S CAMPAIGN HAS NOT BEEN
ABLE TO FUNDRAISE AND IS IT A
SERIOUS CASH DISADVANTAGE VERSUS
GOVERNOR WHITMER? TONIGHT WAS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE HERSELF
AND SHE DID EXTREMELY WELL
PREPARED AND ON THE ATTACK FOR
THE ENTIRE HOUR IN HER FIRST
ANSWER. SHE’S ALREADY BEING
DISHONEST. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY
GOING TO BE A THEME FOR THE
NIGHT. I THINK IT’S REALLY
IRONIC WHEN MRS DICKSON STANDS
HERE AND SAYS THAT SHE WILL
ACCEPT THE VOTE, THE WILL OF THE
PEOPLE THIS IS A CANDIDATE WHO
STILL DENIES THE OUTCOME OF THE
2020 ELECTION. THIS IS A
CANDIDATE WHO WILL NOT PLEDGE TO
ACCEPT THE OUTCOME OF THE
NOVEMBER 8TH ELECTION BACK AND
FORTH ALL NIGHT LONG LOBBYING
HAYMAKERS. WHAT A DEBACLE TO
HAVE $8.5 BILLION FRAUDULENTLY
SENT OUT NOW I’VE GOT PEOPLE
BRINGING BILLS FROM THE STATE UP
TO ME, BEGGING ME TO FORGIVE THE
UNEMPLOYMENT THAT SHE’S TRYING
TO GET OUT BACK. SHE IS TOO
DANGEROUS AND TOO OUT OF TOUCH
TO BE TRUSTED WITH PROTECTING
OUR KIDS. SHE’LL PUT THE SECOND
AMENDMENT BEFORE SECOND GRADERS
EVERY TIME WE CANNOT LET THAT
HAPPEN BECAUSE WE KNOW THE
GOVERNOR CAME OUT AND SAID THAT
SHE SUPPORTS THE SPIRIT OF
DEFUND THE POLICE. IN FACT, WE
KNOW THAT WHEN WE WERE ALL
LOCKED DOWN, SHE WENT OUT AND
MARCHED WITH FOLKS WHO HELD UP
SIGNS THAT SAID, DEFUND THE
POLICE. MY OPPONENT IS LONG ON
RHETORIC AND SHORT ON FACTS, AND
THAT’S OKAY. I GOT TO TELL YOU
AS A FORMER PROSECUTOR. I HAVE
SAT WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT. I
HAVE WORKED ARM IN ARM WITH
THEM, AND THAT’S WHY THE BUDGETS
THAT I HAVE WRITTEN HAVE BEEN
FOCUSED ON SUPPORTING BACK HERE.
LIVE TUTOR DIXON ROLLED INTO
TONIGHT AS IF THIS DEBATE AND
HER AND HER CAMPAIGN DEPENDENT
ON IT. UM IT WAS AN APPEARANCE
HERE. THAT WAS MARKEDLY
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE SAW OUT
OF HER IN THE GOP PRIMARY
DEBATES. NOW WHETHER THIS
CHANGES THINGS FOR HER AND THE
GOP DONOR CLASS RETURNS. I GUESS
WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT AND
SEE. WE’RE LIVE IN GRAND RAPIDS
TONIGHT. MARA MACDONALD LOCAL
FORWARD. SO RIGHT, MARA, SHE’S
REALLY STRUGGLED HERE TO RAISE
MONEY FINANCIALLY. WE’LL SEE IF
MONEY STARTS TO COME IN HERE
WITH AS I SAID, JUST ABOUT A
LITTLE MORE THAN THREE WEEKS TO
GO. ALL RIGHT. LET’S MOVE NOW TO
DEARBORN, WHERE HUNDREDS
GATHERED TONIGHT IN A VERY
SPIRITED EVENING TO DISCUSS
BANNING BOOKS IN SCHOOLS ISSUE
SIX BOOKS SOME SAY ARE
INAPPROPRIATE. FOR SCHOOL AGED
CHILDREN. THOSE BOOKS ARE PUSH
LOVELY BONES, ELEANOR AND PARK
RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE. THIS
BOOK IS GAY AND ALL BOYS AREN’T
BLUE. THEY’RE CURRENTLY UNDER
REVIEW. TONIGHT’S MEETING AT
STOUT MIDDLE SCHOOL, WRAPPING UP
JUST MOMENTS AGO, PAMELA OSBORNE
IS THERE LIVE AND PAMELA THINGS
GOT VERY HEATED AT TIMES. THEY
DID, BUT BETWEEN SECURITY THAT
WAS HIRED IN DEARBORN POLICE
THERE WERE ABOUT 12, DIFFERENT
POLICE OFFICERS, SECURITY PEOPLE
HERE SO THINGS DIDN’T GET TOO
OUT OF HAND. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE
QUITE A FEW DISRUPTIONS THE
BOARD BY THE WAY, THEY DON’T
HAVE ANY SAY IN THIS REVIEW
PROCESS, BUT STILL THEY LISTENED
TO HOURS AND HOURS OF COMMENT
FROM PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT
REMOVING THOSE BOOKS FROM THE
SHELVES AND PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
SEE THEM STAY. IT’S VERY
ANTAGONISTIC. LISA GODDARD, A
MOTHER OF FIVE FORMER AND
CURRENT DEARBORN PUBLIC SCHOOL
STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF STOUT MIDDLE
SCHOOL, AFTER WHAT SHE SAW
MONDAY. SHE WANTED NOTHING TO DO
WITH THURSDAY’S CONTINUATION OF
THAT MEETING, WHICH ENDED
ABRUPTLY WHEN THINGS STARTED TO
UNRAVEL. THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY
LOSE IN THIS SCENARIO, AREN’T
THE ADULTS WERE ALL YELLING AT
EACH OTHER? IT IS THE KIDS, THIS
TEAM WHO IDENTIFIES AS QUEER AND
TRANSGENDER SHOUTED TO BE HEARD
AS ADULTS, BOOM. THEY’RE OF THE
BOOKS AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO
STUDENTS IN THE LIBRARIES. I
HAVE NO DOUBT I WOULD HAVE HAD
AN EASIER TIME ACCEPTING MYSELF
WHEN RELATING TO ALLOW THE
SPEAKER TO SPEAK AGAINST THE
BOOKS THAT FOCUS ON LGBTQ ISSUES
AND EXPERIENCES SAY IT WAS ABOUT
THE EXPLICIT NATURE THREE YEAR
OLD MAN, AND I’M EMBARRASSED TO
SEE THIS STUFF. AND YET YOU SAY
IT’S OKAY FOR THIS TO BE IN THE
HANDS OF MY CHILDREN. SHAME ON
YOU. I’M NOT AGAINST THE GATE
AND NOT AGAINST ANYTHING. I’M
AGAINST THE BOX. OTHERS DON’T
SEE IT THAT WAY AT ALL. STOP
PRETENDING THIS IS ABOUT
PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM BOOKS.
WE ALL KNOW THIS IS ABOUT
ERASING OUR LGBTQ STUDENTS AND
STAFF. IT WAS LITERALLY WRITTEN
ON SIGNS PEOPLE BROUGHT TO THE
MEETING ON MONDAY. OTHERS ARGUE
PARENTS CONCERNED ABOUT THE BOOK
SHOULD OPT THEIR CHILD OUT
ABSOLUTELY HAVE AN ACTIVE ROLE
IN THEIR CHILD’S READING AND
EDUCATION, BUT NO PARENT SHOULD
BE ABLE TO TELL ANOTHER PARENT
WHAT THEIR CHILD IS ALLOWED OR
NOT TO READ THOSE WHO BELIEVE
THE BOOKS BELONG. OTHER PARENTS
SHOULD HAVE NO SAY OVER WHAT
THEIR CHILDREN READ. AND I, FOR
ONE, WON’T GIVE UP MY RIGHTS AS
A FATHER. TO ANYONE WHO’S
PARENTING SKILLS ARE SO FRAGILE
THEY’RE TEENAGERS CAN BE UNDONE
BY INK ON A PAGE. THE TEACHERS
UNION, THE AMERICAN FEDERATION
OF TEACHERS WENT ON THE RECORD,
SAYING IT SUPPORTS STAFF MEMBERS
. STUDENTS TEACHERS, LGBT Q
COMMUNITY MEMBERS OVER POLITICAL
DIVISIVENESS. NOW I DO WANT TO
MENTION HERE. THEY SAY THAT THEY
THINK THE BOARD HAS DONE A GOOD
JOB WITH CREATING OPTIONS FOR
PARENTS WHO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
THESE BOOKS, WHICH, BY THE WAY
IN THE FUTURE AFTER THIS, ANY
BOOKS THAT ARE UNDER REVIEW.
THEY’RE GOING TO REMAIN AN
SHELVES RIGHT NOW. THE BOOKS
THAT ARE UNDER REVIEW HAVE BEEN
PULLED REPORTING LIVE IN
DEARBORN. I’M PAMELA OSBORNE
LOCAL 4 ON BOTH SIDES, PAMELA
WOULD APPRECIATE IT. WE’RE ALSO

MISCONDUCT ISSUES. IS
RESIGNATION WILL NOT TAKE EFFECT
