That's quite entertaining, if not so sad.

Yes! Hemant is fantastic, and we've been tracking this board since February. We have some deeply unserious board members in AZ, unfortunately.

I needed this :-))) cause my head is still spinning from last night session w/ hysterical parents who think that elementary school teachers are showing their students how to put condom over a carrot - that kids can get an abortion without parents ' consent, by law, that was decreed by our Governor - parents are loosing control of the sexuality of their children which is what is happening in France where children are property of the State - we also need police dogs in schools ( stopping short of arming teachers phewww!). This bc our Carlsbad schools in California is committed to inclusion, equity, tolerance for all staff and students in order to provide a respectful , safe learning environment that protects from discrimination, harassment, intimidation, bullying and any type of behavior that is motivated by hate --- The local Mission Church (evangelical, anti LGBTQ) and Carlsbad Education Alliance ( fancy name for parental rights organization) are driving this hate and fear, believing that our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion is mind bending kids to become gays and transgenders - schools lack "transparency" they lectured me ... I want this parent to elaborate on this but by now I am thinking of first graders doing the carrot thing, and I wanted to LOL bc these parents are seriously agitated by lies, they must have been steeped in Fox and Jesus Christ, they are fearful, angry, they are very white.

How can these people be deprogrammed, they need some kind of intervention from the GQP dope-a-mint... or else, they will doom us with their hate and fear.
