Parents in the Austin, Texas, area expressed outrage after a technology teacher read a Dr. Seuss-style poem mocking "evangelicals" and parents who have expressed concerns about books they call pornographic.

Krista Tyler, instructional technology specialist at Grisham Middle School in the Round Rock Independent School District (ISD) read the poem at the Leander ISD school board meeting Dec. 16.

"Everyone in Leander liked reading a lot/ but some evangelicals in Leader did not," Tyler begins. "These kooks hated reading, the whole reading season./ Please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason./ It could be perhaps critical thinking causes fright./ It could be their heads aren't screwed on just right./ But whatever the reason, their brains or their fright,/ they can't follow policy in plain black and white."

It used to be normal people moved to Round Rock to get away from the Austin Loony Libs. It doubled in size, however, with transplants from other parts of the country, notably during the Obama recession.

It is even factually wrong.
Just plays the lefty view of evangelicals as stupid county bumpkins.
As far as I know, evangelicals read a lot, just not what she would read!

What her ‘poem’ lacked in meter, rhyme and word choice was made up for in pretentiousness and projection.

Probably has an ear piece, and the producers rig the thumb trigger so she gets more than her fair share of questions.

what surprises me is the blowback.

[Atomic Vomit]

I would like to invite the young lady (!?) to substitute the word “muslim” for “Evangelical” and blast it all over MSM,etc. See how that works out for her.

Yeah, that’ll happen. /s/

and bring the city of Austin to heel.

austin is too far over the edge. One would have to eliminate (permanently)85% of the population to make things better.

it’s root and branch...

Schools are very much in favor of bullying — as long as the right people are getting harassed and mocked.

Bingo. Well said!

[Ban Draoi Marbh Draoi]

Wonder what would happen and what the response would be if an angry parent to to post that naughty little ditty on, oh say the school’s website, addressed directly to her.

[Leep]

She sounds like a supremacists?

[Impala64ssa]

That train wreck is the total prog package, no surprises.
If the books she's fond of turned up in an adult bookstore betchya they'd be shut down and arrested faster than Let's go Brandon Brown on steroids, as they should be. Can the publishers, and any school administrators who allow this trash in OUR public schools be arrested for child welfare endangerment as well as possession and distribution of child porn?
