Clamor for resignation of new BOE member in Brookfield

A parade of angry residents, including two parents from Newtown, called for the resignation of new Briokfiekd school board member Greg Beck.
Beck, 36, a town dispatcher elected to a seat as a member of the minority A Brookfield Party, was chastised for offensive remarks he made on Facebook related to the anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on Dec. 14, 2012. In the post, quoted numerous times, Beck said his 26 acts would be to give “ammunition” to his gun enthusiast friends.
Beck later apologized, but 15 speakers at the board said that is inadequate. They demanded his resignation as the only way he can show remorse.
Beck stayed silent as comments were made, but after the meeting maintained he intends to keep the seat to which he was elected.
Stay tuned for more on this story and the objections voiced at the meeting.
