NJ radio host calls for violence against local school superintendent

LEXINGTON, Mass. -- A local school official was the target of an attack by a New Jersey radio show host because of what is being taught to students.

The topic of teaching children about homosexuality is very controversial, and it is a debate that is happening all over the country. Recently, a radio host in New Jersey advocated the use of violence against the Lexington School Superintendent because of the curriculum in the district.

"I would laugh if some of the people involved in this issue, went over to the superintendent's house, grabbed him by the neck, and beat the (expletive) out of him," the radio host said.

Recently, two civil lawsuits have been filed against the school district because of its controversial curriculum. Elementary school students are expected to read books like King and King," which depicts a marriage ceremony for two kings.

The Superintendent says that he stands by the school curriculum, and it will continue as scheduled.

The Superintendent has had police watch over his home the past few days because of the threats.

In my own back yard! I'll do some local digging to see what I can find out (and to see if I can send a letter of support to the superintendent...)
