"A Kentucky county school system has become so fed up with disruptive speakers at unruly school board meetings that they're forcing members of the public to submit their opinions through a 500-word-limit email.

"Parents and other community members in Jefferson County — Kentucky's most populous county — were told ahead of Tuesday's school board meeting that all opinions and concerns had to be submitted by email to the board's secretary, according to a special meeting notice."

Unfortunate but not illegal under the Kentucky Open Meetings Act which is entirely silent on public comment.
