School board whack-a-mole

[dvandom]

It's starting to look like some sort of pathological whack-a-mole pattern is developing in school board elections, in Kansas and elsewhere. Here's the cycle:

1) Right-leaning school board rewrites science standards to crack the door open for creationism.

2) Voters wake up, vote the bums out.

3) New school board reverses the decision.

4) Voters go back to sleep.

5) Right-leaning candidates get elected to school board on Family Values issues, but claim they're not out to gut the science standards.

6) GOTO 1

Well, she went off big time because the other family followed astrology and not Christ. Ranting and raving about that.

Nice defense though... defend it by generalizing about other religions to take the focus away. Her rants were specifically about the other family being "evil" because they weren't like her. Funny you left out Muslim though.... but they've always harbored the same image and excuses.

I've seen police videos of people on PCP which looked similar to her violent outbursts. They had a drug excuse, what did she have? The need to force others to live her way?

Besides, I've seen enough out of the Bush family, Fred Phelps, David Duke, Pat Robertson and others to know I want no part of it.

Again, what do these people have to do with Christianity? (Other than using it to justify their predatory sociopathy?)

I am generalizing about this woman's madness. You seem obsessed with the superficial manifestation of it, as expressed in one religion that you have a personal grudge against. Get over it. Her religion is the focus of her insanity but it is not the cause, nor is it rendered irrelevant or wrong because she is insane.
