And here I thought she was crazy, odious and ignorant enough to be a shoo-in. Because … Texas.

So…my local schools won’t teach my kids that President Obama was a gay prostitute, the federal government is socialist, Islam is not a religion, the Boy Scouts are a homosexual organization, and that dinosaurs walked with humans???

I’m going to have to do that myself?? Then it really is true: our education system is failing us.

All kidding aside, Ms. Bruner sounds like she herself is a product of the Texas Educational system.

Yes, wasn’t he that thing that rides on the front of the ship, some sort of mermaid-like attachment?

Sanity prevails in deep East Texas?

Texas comes up with an 18% batshit deficit. Good news for all of us.

Let’s not get carried away. Using “sanity” and “Texas” in the same sentence merits a trip to the neurologist for dementia screening.

What’s really scary is that she was a teacher.

It’s apparent what town she taught in, all the street signs are in cursive.

Was curious about the Texas Freedom Network (name sounded a bit tea-baggerish for me) so I looked them up

TEXAS FREEDOM NETWORK

Founded in 1995, the Texas Freedom Network is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization of more than 131,000 religious and community leaders who support religious freedom, individual liberties and public education. Based in Austin, the Texas Freedom Network acts as the state’s watchdog, monitoring far-right issues, organizations, money and leaders. The organization has been instrumental in defeating initiatives backed by the religious right in Texas, including private school vouchers and textbook censorship at the Texas State Board of Education.

Mission - Texas Freedom Network

Edited to add: Also looked at their “Issues”. Good stuff.
I’m sold on this organization and am thankful they’re fighting to good fight in Texas. Bravo to them.

This is so disappointing. She represents Texas values better than any other Texan.

We have to forgive and ignore ignorant people like Mary Lou Bruner. We have to be tolerant of angry, bitter hateful people saying evil things as long as they are not committing crimes.

Many factors including mental illness, religion, dementia, etc. can cause pathological behaviors such as this. We don’t know whether it was illness or her upbringing and environment in Texas that caused her to become like this.

Mary Lou Bruner was probably was raised in the South by parents who were racist, bigoted and lacked basic human values and were uncultured. Given her specific choice of language it is possible that she may have been sexually abused or that her family was employed in the sex industry.

Many of repugnant religious conservatives like her are home schooled. I also am willing to bet she considers herself a good christian, is a regular church goer, who goes on her knees in front of jesus and comes out ugly on the inside but inspired to spout ignorance, hate and bigotry.
