Yeah, this is exactly the type of person who, because they received no real accountability for their crime, is going to end up as the next school shooter.

You forgot money.
This indoctrination that so fear is called learning.
I can think back to my HS years and can not ID one gay person, I guess I could try to go to a reunion and find out, but then I’d have to put on dressy clothes.
I can also point out since I’ve been going to some GS camp reunions, there were girls I thought were gay that weren’t. And some that I thought weren’t gay that are. But in the end I don’t really care, we laugh about the things that happened and how much fun we had.

I suspect PP is doing the series as a heads up. What’s happening at school boards is canary in coal mine.
We are being warned of tactics being utilized by GOP to destroy the fabric of our democracy at grass roots level.
We did not pay enough attention when they sat out to change the federal judiciary & Supreme Court via the Federalist Society and now it’s become a billion dollar behomoth structure funding SCOTUS clerks & little things for GinniThomas while Leo asks it not be noted.
The tactics of GOP are made out to be crazy yet they have severe consequences that ripple throughout state legislatures & governships as well as defying Congressional subpoenas.
The worse thing we can do is label these folks as having mental health issues because we find their aberrant behavior aborrhent to the norms of civilized society & democracy values that built America.
These folks are not “crazy” they vehemently disagree with new societal norms & democracy as we knew in the 20th century.
Let’s wake up…they are woke not crazy.
Fight for democracy & stop with the deceit of “mental health” issues.

“Family Research Council. The model bills have similar preambles, including the assertion — rebutted by major medical organizations — that the risks of gender-affirming care outweigh its benefits.”

I got news for him and for others like him – YOU ARE NOT IMPORTANT. Neither am I, but I don’t make plans to go ape shit at my county school board because of the craziness he mainlines from FoxNotNews.

“his five younger children face in the public school system. (The 65-year-old retiree has four other children who are adults.)”
Sounds like he certainly resisted any education on contraception, and apparently sought out women just as ignorant.

Yeah, I wonder about the proximity of his adult children.
It’s been going on for a long time.

Trans persons are the new witches. Fear of them is identical to the fear of witches 400 yrs ago.

I think that people are young and feel like they’re going to grow up to be super special. They grow up and they’re really just ordinary and so have to seek out all these different things that make them ‘special’ or ‘important’. My super religious relatives are these people. They spent their lives working blue collar, low paying jobs and as they come toward retirement and have nothing, they are now superior because ‘God’. They can’t be superior and special if no one is beneath them, so they manufacture it.

Well, @pwmesq set me straight yesterday (above). It was a ProPublica story and there stories tend to be long, Rolling Stone was like that as well back in the day.
But I agree with you, crazy person goes crazy. Media sells it as ‘trend’. Like the guy with the baseball bat the other day, walking into a municipal office. Started swinging at the staff. His back story was full of delusional shit as well. You think they may also be anti-vaxxers? Whatever. Be nice if we could get them together, like a CPAC annual, and drop a Russian thermobaric bomb. Shut them up.
