The board voted 8-0 Monday night to cancel the assembly at Mountain View Middle School, which was scheduled for May 22.CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. — The Cumberland Valley School District has been thrown into the national spotlight, after a controversial vote by its school board this week.

According to the district's superintendent, the event was originally organized and approved by Mountain View's principal. Rausch continued, “If we don’t know what he’s going to be talking about, I can’t vote on it and I’m going to object to because I can’t vote on something just because a person doesn’t have a lifestyle I approve of. I’m not going to sit there and discriminate against an individual because I don’t know what they want to talk about.

During Monday's discussion, school board members voiced concerns Pancholy’s talk would creep into what they deemed “political” territory, going against a previously-instated policy which bars political events from Cumberland Valley schools. "Political activism should not be in our schools, it's not meant for our schools," he said."It should be left at home to be taken care of by the parents."“The video speaks for itself," said Valarie Ryerson, another parent in the district."They said what they said. There’s really no getting away from it.”

As of Thursday afternoon, Comstock's petition had garnered more than 2,300 signatures, saying the response has been the"silver lining in a bad situation."
