The Congress Elementary School District in Arizona is tired of having to comply with open record laws, or deal with pesky residents that want to know what they’re doing.  The school district is now suing four residents on the basis that their lawful requests amount to “harassment.” No kidding:

The Congress Elementary School District claims that past efforts by these residents to obtain documents such as minutes of board meetings and spending reports amount to harassment that should not have to be tolerated.

But Jean Warren, one of the four defendants named in the lawsuit filed January 28, 2010, said the complaint is an illegal attempt to silence citizens who have questioned the district’s policies and spending practices.

The lawsuit says the defendants filed over 100 public records requests since 2002.  That’s barely 10 a year.  It then hyperventilates that it is contrary to the “public interest” to comply with the requests “filed by the Defendants on an almost daily basis.”

One hundred requests since 2002 is an almost daily basis?  No wonder kids can’t count.  They are being taught by morons – thuggish, tyrannical morons who think they have a right to lord it over children and parents alike without ever being questioned.
