In response to “Kerry Bedard sues Lionheart Classical Academy, claiming breach of contract,” some people throw so much spaghetti at the wall you wonder if they’re running a kitchen or a courtroom.

After months of claiming the school board was illegally seated — refuted by the State Board of Education. Then insisting the school was in financial ruin — disproved by not one, but three separate financial reviews. Then arguing the board was incompetent — a curious claim against a lineup including a professor, a former police officer, a beverage executive, a school leader, an attorney, a money manager and two of the school’s founders.

And now, having struck out on all counts, the latest story is that the former director was let go for being a “whistleblower.” Whistle-blowing about what, exactly? No one seems to know. The school’s finances are sound. The alleged scandal involving a board member happened long after his dealings with the school and had no connection to it. If this is whistle-blowing, it’s a whistle with no air in the chamber.

At a certain point, it stops looking like advocacy and starts looking like performance art.

The legal system will sort this out. Facts have a stubborn way of surviving courtroom drama. In the meantime, the community deserves to see these antics for what they are -- a desperate attempt to reframe a lawful dismissal after every other claim crumbled under scrutiny.

The spaghetti’s all on the floor now. Time to mop up.
