A Nevada school board member said he had thoughts of suicide before stepping down amid threats and harassment. In Virginia, a board member resigned over what she saw as politics driving decisions on masks. The vitriol at board meetings in Wisconsin had one member fearing he would find his tires slashed....

Well, what did they expect? Sometimes lab experiments backfire.

Just because you think you are on the same team as the parents, doesn’t mean they agree.

Our country is being run by psychopaths.

The MSM is so very eager to emphasize “conservative”, “anti-vaxxer” dies of the Wuhan Virus. Please note that they never tackle the facts surrounding all the deaths surrounding the “vaccine” with the same enthusiasm.
How far and wide did the MSM report the fact that a Naval doctor reported that far more service members have died from the “vaccine” than have died from the virus?

"....“There is starting to be an inherent distrust for school boards, that there’s some notion that we are out to indoctrinate children or to undermine parents or things like that, when we are on the same team..."

Gee. Whatever do you suppose makes some people think that they are out to indoctrinate children or undermine parents?

Couldn't be the pushing of Critical Race Theory or the LGBTQXYZ agenda could it?

My dad was on a school board for a few years, and he got plenty of hot phone calls at night because he was a fiscal conservative.

See my tag line. Until real Americans get off their asses and run for these offices it will continue to get worse.

I wonder if they ever thought of reading, writing, math, history and geography.

We used to have to read the classics and write about them.

Had to read MacBeth and one other, cant remember which now, but I loved it after I got into it.

Then we read Oliver Twist, and a couple other Dickens stories.

Then the luck of Roaring Camp=Bret Harte.

And the best of all was Tom Sawyer and Huckelberry Finn.
I got to get copies of the originals and re-read those.

Those just the ones I remember.
