Democrat darling and Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is taking heat after it was discovered that, as a public school teacher in San Antonio, he made his sixth-grade students write "Obama memoirs" celebrating his election.
Corey DeAngelis, a school choice advocate and research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, called the assignment "disqualifying" for a Senate hopeful in Texas.
In a Facebook post by Talarico dated Nov. 13, 2012, he announced, "Today, we finished writing our Obama memoirs," explaining that "students wrote a memoir of Election Night from the point of view of a member of the Obama family."
One of the memoirs shared by Talarico showed one of his students writing as if they were former President Barack Obama’s child, saying, "I was crying when my father was giving his speech" and praising "those lovely words that came out of his mouth" during his election night speech.
The Democratic Party has high hopes that Talarico, a progressive state representative, can flip a critical Senate seat blue and become the first Democratic senator from Texas in decades. Since winning the party’s nomination, however, many have called out his history of progressive statements, including saying "God is nonbinary" and using the Bible to justify abortion.
In another Facebook post, dated Nov. 16, 2012, Talarico shared an image of a poster board full of Obama memoirs with a banner reading "Mr. Talarico’s Wall of Fame." The display featured more than a dozen memoirs along with photos of Obama and his family, as well as presidential seals and Obama’s campaign emblem. Talarico commented, "Our Wall of Fame has been updated with our awesome Obama Family Memoirs!"

A fruitloop, good observation. TX Democrats see him as their ticket to a sweep of the general election races. Attorney general and comptroller races feature apparently strong Democrat surges.
BathHouseBarrySoetoro, the TreasonousTraitor, had such a cult following who waited breathlessly for each word he spoke.
Leftists are soooo delusional.
Male sixth-grade teacher and a nutcase…there’s a good chance that there is something pretty bad in this guy’s history. He’s not going to last long.
I would have written the assignment from the viewpoint not of a family member, but an ISIS terrorist, one of his fellow muslims.
“I was so happy to know that now the borders will be thrown open, making it much easier for my compatriots to enter the Great Satan. And the homosexuals will be brought out of the shadows and into the light, where we can identify them for ‘treatment’ when we take over!”
They love him over at reddit. I read a few replies on one of their threads and I feel like I have to take another shower. I didn’t even want to link the thread here because I didn’t want to skeeve anybody out.
And it sounds like he is indeed a true believer, a one hundred percent useful idiot for any anti-American initiative.
Meh, I have a hard time getting too worked up over this.
Mrs. Washburn had our 6th grade class write congratulations letters to Ronald Reagan in 1980 and then Mr. Colliers had a similar “ghost-write term 1 memoirs” when Reagan was reelected when I was a sophomore in HS in his Government & Civics class.
So long as no student is punished for taking a dour view of the hopium on the assignment, teachers have been doing this kind of thing regardless of the President for generations.
Yeah. I found getting outraged over a new president of the United States a bit much. We’d be gushing if a teacher did this for president Trump which I am sure was done somewhere in the United States on the day after his win especially 2016.
Maybe, but I doubt it.
Look up “liberal aho” on the net. There is a picture of one of Texas’s queer steers, Trannyrico. The little toddler is a chimp who wants to be a U.S. Senator. Geez. WHAT A MAROON.
One child wrote, “All this for a damn flag, sighed Big Mike.”
👍👍👍👍👍
So far, I’ve heard Trannyrico is a war hero, an airplane mechanic, some kind of far left religious nut, now a teacher, and the biggest hero Texas ever gave birth to. What the hell is the truth about this fairy?
Typical public Indoctrination people...
If a conservative Republican talked as much about his religion and its bearing on his proposed policies as Talafreako does, he would be severely scolded by the "separation of church and state" left as unfit for office. Somehow that doesn't count here.
Talarico is just another Demonratic politician. Promise them everything will be free but then enact any policy that enslaves them to the government.
He served in Vietnam, you know, and was decorated there for his wounds!
Oops! Wrong phony...
In California, however, he'd be elected in a landslide.
