This is the way.

The only way to unfrick what we have allowed to be fricked for decades is to change leadership.

Why elect a gay guy for school board? He can't have children. What's his motivation?

At one point, I didn't want to leave my house anymore," he wrote in an opinion piece about his resignation. "I was constantly looking over my shoulder. The anticipation alone of attending another board meeting, being in the same room with folks who likely would be happy if I dropped dead, triggered severe emotional responses for me." He added that he walked into every board meeting fearing for his safety and not knowing what might happen next.


fricking fantastic.

This is what happens when you live in a progressive bubble and take such a position. You quickly learn your desire to institute your backdoor Marxist indoctrination bullshite on kids isn't as popular outside of your wannabe-bougie crowd.

Come between a concerned parent and their children’s future and you would probably rather deal with a rampaging grizzly bear.

One of the few good things to come out of COVID is that parents have discovered their school boards are almost all populated by nutjob ideologues because those are the only people who have ever wanted to run.

That's the secret weapon when dealing with the soy-based crowd. They are mostly spineless weasels that hate confrontation and can't stand to even acknowledge a different viewpoint. Make them uncomfortable and they usually leave.
