Far-Right School Board Member Rants Against Beto, Soros, "Liz" Warren, "globalism," Maddow, etc.

[lowkell]

This past week, Blue Virginia broke the story (https://bluevirginia.us/2019/10/video-does-anyone-know-what-the-hell-far-right-fairfax-school-board-members-babbling-about-now) of Fairfax County School Board member Elizabeth Schultz’s bizarre tirade to the “Prince William & Manassas Family Alliance” about how she’s supposedly been “bullied mercilessly” on the School Board (in fact, she’s the bully); something about the Holocaust and “both sides” being presented (HUH?), as well as something or other about a Muslim kid in biology class…wuuuut? Now, she’s out with another unhinged rant (also, see below), in which she fulminates about...

*Supposed “Desperation to distract from bombshell origins of “One Fairfax” brings all manner of crazy lies!” (and if anyone knows about “crazy lies,” that would be Sebastian Gorka-loving Elizabeth Schultz!)
*Again, supposed “Hard left advocacy groups, funded by George Soros and others, who are working to take over Fairfax County to form its future with a radical agenda.” (gotta love the anti-Semitic “dog whistle” there, eh?)
*That Fairfax County’s supposedly going down the tubes (note: it is not!) because of “the lens of One Fairfax,” the “hard left,” Rachel Maddow, “Liz” Warren, Soros, “an array of well-funded hardcore advocacy organizations selling junk science and economics,” and “a national progressive party plan, embracing globalism and socialism.” (Seriously, Schultz needs to turn off Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Rush Limbaugh, etc. and maybe go out for some fresh air or something)

1. Good golly... this is on a school board?

smh

5. One of the far right's objectives for years has been to take over school boards.

They view public schools as the potential linchpins of their backwards ideology. They have actually succeeded for a few years in North Carolina and Texas.

2. School boards tend to attract super far right crazy people.

Remember the Texas School Board debacle from a few years ago? We really need to get more of our people in local governments and start flipping districts.

3. The antisemitic right-wingers really hate Soros

[Initech]

6. Yeah and their obsession with him is really unhealthy.

4. This is an example of why Democrats and progressives need to get off their asses

Most sane people don't sit around and listen to Limbaugh, hannity, Ingram or the rest of the local cookie cutter Hate Radio talkers, BUT people like this flaming fuckstick do... and they run for shit like local School Boards, where 8-11% of the fucking people that bother to vote put them in positions of power.

[Initech]

7. That's why I say: EVERY. VOTE. COUNTS.

Doesn't matter if it's a coroner, sheriff, school board, state rep, judge... Vote for these positions!!!! If you leave it blank you might as well vote conservative!

8. we were in Fairfax for 4 years, my kids went to school there and we had all kinds of

trouble from the schools and teachers. We were told by school officers that military kids ruined their school's scores. We also had our gifted son who was good at math. One day he told me that the teacher told him that he had to take a test over again because he didn't have enough wrong answers. (He was in their highest math group.) by the time we left, I called it Naziland.
