LePage walks out of UMF event after students hold up signs criticizing him
Source: Kennebec Journal
ARMINGTON Gov. Paul LePage walked away from the podium after two students raised signs critical of him at the dedication of a building at the University of Maine at Farmington Tuesday afternoon.
Lepage, who called the students idiots as he walked past the crowd on the way out of the event, was the featured speaker at the dedication of the Theodora J. Kalikow Education Center.
The governor has been under fire this week after he poked fun at the accents of foreign workers at the state Republican convention in Bangor. Maine House Speaker mark Eve is is also urging the attorney generals office to sanction LePage after the governor held a closed-door meeting of a special commission on education funding Monday, which the attorney general said was in violation of the states open meeting law.
LePage had just stepped up to the podium and started to speak when the students held up the signs, one of which said LePage Maines Shame. The other sign was an environmental report card giving LePage an F and Kalikow an A.

(61,900 posts)If he can get rattled by two students holding up signs, he needs
to step away from the limelight. His pulling out of the education
reform process just because the Mean Old Press won't let him
run it in secret is further proof that he's just not up to the job.
