Patrick Canan ERRED: Please place mold-contaminated SAHS Wrestling Team Mats on next School Board agenda

No documents support his erroneous statements about St. Augustine High School Wrestling Team moldy wrestling mats. St. Johns County School Board member PATRICK "DUCKS" CANAN misled School Board members about moldy wrestling mats.  See School Board response to my Open Records Request No. 2022-52. 

Character counts!

Mat-sniffing is not scientific, and CANAN's sniffer is not certified. 

Enough flummery, dupery and nincompoopery on environmental health, environmental justice and children's health.

Callous, cynical poltroonish PATRICK CANAN should apologize, place the matter of the moldy mats on the next School Board agenda, and prioritize environmental justice and children's health issues. Enough flummery, dupery and nincompoopery1

Subject: Patrick Canan ERRED: Please place mold-contaminated SAHS Wrestling Team Mats on next School Board agenda

Dear School Board Chairman Mignon, Board members Barrera, Slough, Coleman and Canan:
1. Our 5th District School Board member PATRICK CANAN ERRED. Mr. Canan made a series of uninformed, untrue, unkind, false and misleading statements about SAHS moldy wrestling team mats at the School Board meeting I. response to public comments on February 8, 2022.
2. No documents support his falsehoods and flummery. There were no Health Department tests. His other statements are likewise unsupported by any documents, as was admitted and documented by School Board attorney Frank D. Upchurch III in his enclosed response to my Request No. 2022-52, sent on February 9, 2022.
3. As our UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson said, "Let's talk sense to the American people."
4. Would you please be so kind as to place the SAHS moldy mats issue on the agenda of the next St. Johns County School Board meeting?
5. Environmental justice and children's health concerns must be heard and needed. Now.
6. Enough discrimination, insensitivity, insouciance, insolence, abuse, mismanagement, flummery, dupery and nincompoopery from our St. Johns County School Board about a matter of human rights for the St. Augustine High School Wrestling Team, which has been subjected to moldy wrestling mats since their first practice, on November 9, 2021, when the boys and their coaches were obliged to spend 90 minutes cleaning the moldy mats, which are stored in showers. 
7. Please place an item on the consent agenda to dispose of the moldy mats, buy new ones, and store them in a cool dry place -- not in showers!
Thank you.
With kindest regards, I am,
