Finally The Huntsville Times covered this (”Did complaint get him demoted”).
The Huntsville City Schools contacted a parent’s employer over a policy disagreement at a PTA meeting.
Let that sink in – if you disagree with a principal at a PTA meeting – they call your employer to complain. In this case the employer was the Army and Master Sergeant CJ Grisham (who earned the Bronze Star in Iraq) deserves a formal apology from the Board of Education.
Fortunately for us, the issue is not he said / she said as reported in the Times. Grisham and another parent have video.
The School Board has also admitted that their earlier public denials “were not totally accurate”. Dale Jackson at WVNN, who dug up incriminating emails from the Schools, states plainly that they lied.

We’ve also been covering this at Flashpoint:

Note that The Times got the headline and that part of the story wrong – Grisham was not demoted.
Hey Danny
I figured you would post the story on Bill Johnson passing the polygraph test.
It made the news last night on every local Montgomery channel and I thought it was an interesting story. Do you think Dan Gans will take a polygraph?
I’ve been so busy, many posts are stacked up in a holding pattern.
I am a bit surprised that the Daily Headlines didn’t pick up a story on it, and I guess I thought it did. It is some interesting, no question. For a variety of reasons, I doubt if any other character in the story will take one.
FWIW, a Google News search using the terms “Bill Johnson polygraph” as of 8:27PM shows only a one relevant link to a column in the Hartselle Enquirer by Bob Martin and a search for “Johnson Riley” only turns up a Steve Flowers column for today. The story has not been picked up by either of the NY Times affiliated papers, the Gadsden Times or Tuscaloosa News. Tomorrow who knows
To follow up on my earlier post – The Huntsville Times ran a correction saying they got the demotion wrong.
