Save Welch Schools

Oklahoma voters need a way to dump lousy school board members. Case in point: Dennis McCord, president of the Welch School Board, who has been banned from school property by the superintendent for being a Sports Dad from Hell, cussing out coaches and threatening the superintendent over his kids' playing time. Despite censures from his fellow board members, McCord refuses to resign and nothing can be done to force him out, short of a criminal conviction. (Via Welch alum Tyson Wynn.)
