Ark. school offical to resign over anti - gay Facebook remarks
This is an update on the original story about this guy.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - A member of a northern Arkansas school board says he is resigning his seat after coming under fire for posting anti-gay remarks on his Facebook page, CNN reported late Thursday.
"I'm sorry I've hurt people with my comments," Clint McCance, vice-president of the Midland School District, told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "I'm sorry I made those ignorant comments and hurt people on a broad spectrum."
Commenting on a campaign to get people to wear purple to show support for bullied gay and lesbian youth, McCance posted on the social networking site that the only way he would wear purple is "if they all commit suicide."
The Arkansas Department of Education on Wednesday condemned the alleged posting by Midland School Board member Clint McCance and the Arkansas Times reported that about three dozen protesters rallied Thursday outside Midland High School calling for McCance's ouster.

Good, he's doing the right thing by resigning. Too bad he can't necessarily retract the damage he did with his original Facebook statements
