more smh Texas: Mary Lou Bruner

[Blake]

So embarrassing. We're so stupid.


Mary Lou Bruner is a Republican who is the leading candidate to take a seat on the policy-setting Texas State Board of Education. In a three-person race last week, she earned nearly 50 percent of the vote, but not enough to avoid a runoff in May, which she is expected to win. If she does, she would face a Democrat in the general election, and,*according to the Houston Chronicle, is expected to win.

Bruner has said or written a slew of things about a range of topics that make her stand out among those for whom reality escapes. For example:

Obama has a soft spot for homosexuals because of the years he spent as a male prostitute in his twenties. That is how he paid for his drugs. He has admitted he was addicted to drugs when he was young, and he is sympathetic with homosexuals; but he hasn’t come out of the closet about his own homosexual/bisexual background.

Many people believe the Democrat Party had JFK killed because the socialists and Communists in the party did not want a conservative president. Remember who followed JFK as president — (LBJ). The exact opposite of Kennedy — a socialist and an unethical politician. It does seem like this might have been the master plan: They sneaked the bad guy (LBJ) into the administration on the coat-tail of a good guy (JFK). Then they got rid of the good guy; in the end, they got a socialist president which is what they originally wanted.

School shootings started after the schools started teaching evolution.

When the flood waters subsided and rushed to the oceans there was no vegetation on the earth because the earth had been covered with water. … The dinosaurs on [Noah’s ark] may have been babies and not able to reproduce. … After the flood, the few remaining Behemoths and Leviathans may have become extinct because there was not enough vegetation on earth for them to survive to reproductive age.

Climate change has nothing to do with weather or climate; it is all about system change from capitalism (free enterprise) to Socialism-Communism. The Climate Change HOAX was Karl Marx’s idea. It took some time to “condition” the people so they would believe such a ridiculous HOAX.

Many of the (sexual education) books which teachers read to your small children are not allowed in jails and prisons because of the bad effect the books have on the prisoners. These books stimulate children to experiment with sex.

And there’s this one, about how the United Nations wants to reduce the U.S. population by up to 325 million people (the U.S. population is about 323 million,*according to the U.S. Census) by using “Obamacare to make people die a little sooner than they would have died”:

So embarrassing. We're so stupid.

The State has taken over local school districts.

Looks like the Feds may need to take over a State Education agency if this woman actually puts her twisted, meandering thoughts into policy.

Yeah, this shit is scary.

More proof to me that the Republican party has collectively lost its fucking mind.

She is the leading Republican candidate, and likely to win office.

Insane or ignorant, which is it?

Guess you didn't notice that the conversation was no longer about some obscure local school board pol.

She's not an obscure local school board pol. She's going to be a state level pol influencing what's in our textbooks nationally. And the conversation from the very beginning was about Texas voters and actually wanting crap like this in their schools.

I'll let you know if this happens.

Nope. Never heard of her, as I suspect no one on this board has heard of her before this thread. Hence, obscure.

Because it's a stretch to think that someone who says evolution in textbooks caused mass school shootings will try to keep it out of textbooks?

If she doesn't believe, why does she say it?

... because Texas Christian Taliban actually believe her shit.

Given the increasing wealth concentration, one has to wonder. That provides more evidence for a conspiracy than Barack Obama's supposed bisexuality. GMAFB

I noticed you ducked my question.

Is the Republican electorate insane or ignorant in this case? Given her support one would think that a good number of the asshats voting for her know what she stands for.

[pgardn]

I think it's a stretch that this one nutjob will convince the other board members to remove evolution from textbooks.

I don't think she needs to vote or decide anything on any school board.

But that's just me.
How about you?

Eyup.

There are quite a few muslim creationists as well. They claim their version of creationism is better/more accurate than the Christian one... of course.

Both are bollocks, of course.

This is the entity that decides what goes into state curriculum standards, and what goes into textbooks.

Quackery here has very far reaching effects. Texas should be embarrassed. I am.

Twhat goes into textbooks.


and TX textbooks, TX being so big and full of bullshit, are used by other, smaller states.

Texas’ Most Notable Creationist Says Mary Lou Bruner Will Be a ‘Great Asset’ to Ed Board

More than 100,000 East Texas Republicans from College Station to Paris voted in March to give authority over Texas’ public school curriculum to Mary Lou Bruner,

Bruner’s campaign has already returned the State Board of Education to its familiar place, up on a tee for easy jokes at Texas’ expense, and should she win her runoff election in May — which is likely — there it will stay for at least four more years. Departing board member Thomas Ratliff, whose seat Bruner would fill, told the Dallas Morning News (http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/2016/03/texas-education-board-dreads-possible-return-of-culture-war-with-anti-gay-candidate.html/) she would be a “human rain delay.” Her ascendance to the board would signal that the last few years of relative calm have been not progress but an aberration, and that the board had returned to its natural state of chaos.

Count Don McLeroy (https://www.texasobserver.org/2965-the-curious-faith-of-don-mcleroy-what-inspires-the-man-at-the-center-of-the-texas-creationism-controversy/) among those looking forward to it.

His dozen years on the board are the reason it has acquired a reputation for relitigating whether humans walked with dinosaurs. His time as chairman was driven by a mission to sow doubt about the theory of evolution and emphasize “traditional education” such as phonics and country music over whole language instruction and rap. And his ouster by Ratliff in 2010 ushered in the cooling-off period the board has since enjoyed.

In the three-way primary race to replace Ratliff, McLeroy told the Observer he’d been rooting for Bruner and local GOP activist Hank Hering.

“They’re two Don McLeroys, really,” he said. Bruner will face Lufkin ISD board president Keven Ellis in the runoff, and is likely to draw most of Hering’s voters to her side.

“I think she’ll be a great asset,” McLeroy said. “She testified all the time when I was on the board.”

Bigot who accuses gays of turning kids into ‘zombie fairies’ appointed to Penn. school board

A Pennsylvania school board had no problem electing a new member even after it was disclosed that she boasted on Facebook that she is “officially against Muslims,” and accused gays of turning children into “zombie fairies.”

According to the Sun Gazette (http://www.sungazette.com/page/content.detail/id/657559/Montoursville-Area-board-choice----.html), the Montoursville Area School Board voted to appoint Karen Dincher Wright to fill a spot on the board despite protests over her hateful postings on Facebook.

The Gazette points out that each member of the board was given a file containing 15 racist, anti-Muslim and homophobic posts that Wright had written over the previous year.

Despite the files containing screenshots of Wright stating, “I am officially against Muslims. We need to take a stand as Christians and Jews,”

Texas School Board Candidate Pretty Sure Pre-K Turns Kids Into Little Gay Whores

http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/marylouted.jpg

She is running for seat on Texas’s STATE school board of education, and according to Slate (http://www.slate.com/blogs/schooled/2016/04/25/mary_lou_bruner_believes_public_pre_k_indoctrinate s_children_with_pro_gay.html) she is likely to win! This lady made us all giggle in terror when she (who wants to control children’s education) explained (http://wonkette.com/598811/texas-school-board-candidate-cant-wait-to-teach-kids-about-obamas-gay-whoring-days) on Facebook that Obama loves the gays because of how he used to suck cock for cocaine money back in his younger days.

Well now she is upset about Pre-K programs, which are very popular among most everyone alive, but Mary Lou can tell (http://www.slate.com/blogs/schooled/2016/04/25/mary_lou_bruner_believes_public_pre_k_indoctrinate s_children_with_pro_gay.html) they are just indoctrination centers for kids to learn how to suck gay cock and murder Jesus:


http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/brunerfacebook.png

Do you really want to have a kid who’s so well-prepared for elementary school that they spend kindergarten writing in perfect cursive handwriting about how they hate their dumb bigots parents and just want to go be homosexual somewhere?

What if they’re so smart they write all of that in French, so their dumb bigot parents can’t even read it?

Mary Lou knows what is up, and she is obviously a fantastic choice to direct the education of 5 million kids (http://tea.texas.gov/news_release.aspx?id=25769810475) in Texas.

Just think what she can accomplish once Texas secedes (http://wonkette.com/600784/oh-noes-texas-might-vote-to-secede-whatever-shall-we-do) from the USA.
