June 1st could be Carrie Prejean Day - Oy Vey
A Vista Unified School District trustee is suggesting the school board publicly honor Carrie Prejean, the Miss USA runner-up who grabbed national attention last week for her comments on same-sex marriage, the North County Times reported.
Trustee Jim Gibson said this week he wants to make June 1 "Carrie Prejean Day" in the district. He called Prejean, a 2005 Vista High School graduate, a "good, strong role-model."
"We're setting her up as an example," he told the paper. "As far as I'm concerned, she's a great role-model, and she's a person who needs to be emulated."
Prejean said in a phone interview Tuesday that she was thrilled by the recognition and is proud of her North County ties.
"I feel so honored," she told the paper.
Gibson is proposing the school board approve the proclamation at its May 14 meeting.

You can't make this shit up... The Christian Right here in San Diego is rampant and rabid.

Prejean as a ROLE MODEL????

Someone slap me out of this nightmare.

11. As I commented on another thread, the hypocrisy of this is mind-boggling.
These wingers think that school age kids should be emulating this woman?

Aren't these the same freaks who would be forming a witch hunt if a teacher in their district had a topless photo flying it's way around the internet?!?!?!

If this is in fact your town, I hope you show up to the meetings with poster sized print outs of her topless photo shoot and just stand there in silence.

Is it also a good thing to lie and not honor contracts that you've signed?

This chick didn't come close to losing her title because she spoke out against gay marriage.

She was in danger of losing her crown because she lied about never having taken nude pics and not honoring her contractual obligations as Miss California to not join any political organizations and for not showing up at scheduled events.

And if this is your area, please fill us in on any local scandals where any teachers were fired due to "conduct unbecoming of a teacher" if there are any. It would be a joy to spam the local newspapers with LTTEs outing the hypocrisy of this school board.

14. That's why that other woman resigned from the Miss USA thing...
this prejean person was in breech of her contract... it sets a bad example to just wave that off because she's attractive (to some... some like that fakey samey look).

18. She is in the spotlight
because she said some really bigoted and stupid shit and then the shit hit the fan with the pictures... Donald is as fake and slutty as she is....

The school board will most likely tell the trustee who made this suggestion to shut up... I mean, let's hope so anyway...

19. Lots of people say that same stupid stuff
but they disappear immedately cause they aren't "hot" / don't have nekkid pics floating around.

And yeah, let's hope. Cause really... it's pretty frickin ridiculous to consider this lying fake to be anything remotely resembling a role model.

20. They give "Christians" a bad name but
I'm betting real "Christians" who do "emulate" Christ will prevail.

Fucking hypocrital devil worshippers.

24. Well, suprise, surprise!! NOT. Look at what other resolution Gibson was trying to pass:
And from the looks of this, it would seem the school board will vote down this Prejean BS, too:

VISTA: School board stays out of gay marriage debate
Trustees decide against taking a stance on Prop. 8


VISTA ---- In a lively meeting that drew more than 100 people, the Vista Unified school board decided Thursday night to stay out of the debate over same-sex marriages.

By a 3-2 vote, school district trustees declined to take a position on Proposition 8, an initiative that would amend the state constitution to define marriage as only between a man and a woman.

Board President Jim Gibson asked trustees to pass a resolution in support of Prop. 8 and board member Stephen Guffanti joined him in backing the resolution. The rest of the panel said the board shouldn't take a position on any proposition.

*snip*

In refusing to support the resolution, Trustee David Hubbard said that bringing such controversial issues before the board only further divides the community.

"The only outcome is that we're going to create hard feelings," he said.

31. a friend of mine wrote the following to the Vista School board:
Are you kidding me? What has she done to get any honor? Has she helped to find homes for all of the homeless children in Vista School District? Has she helped to fill the shelves of the food bank? Has she volunteered to teach any of the children struggling to learn to read because their own parents cannot read? Has she spoken up for those unable to speak for themselves?



Has she held a fund raiser to help all of the poor Military families living in this area? Has she spoken out against prejudice and hatred and reminded children these are the reasons we go to war? Has she taken a stand against the corporations who have robbed the citizens of their clean air, their clean water, their retirement, and their dignity?



What message are we wanting to send our young people, that those who are different than you should be despised and treated like second class citizens? That if your internal voice which you claim to be God tells you to deprive people of basic rights then that’s the way the world should be? In every religion in the world we are taught to “love one another”, not to be judgmental.



We have experienced exactly what this shallow, mean spirited thinking brings to our country. Have we not had enough? Are you as a responsible Board member actually willing to be a part of such small minded thinking and behavior? If the answer is yes, there should be a massive movement to replace all such board members from office.



Sincerely,
