Bill Maher says that people aren’t motivated to go to the polls because they want to say “thank you.” According to Maher, people are more likely to go to the polls when they want to say “fuck you.”
If the public comments at Thursday’s North Penn School Board meeting are any indication, a large segment of the voters in that school district are getting ready to say “fuck you” to their Democratic school board and to the whole democratic whole slate of candidates running in this year’s election.
Mike Flannery told the board, “Folks at home understand this. Masks and CRT are only the flavor of the year for these Commies (pointing to the school board members) … Come next year, they’ll be onto the next scam. If I had to bet, it would be something climate-related. The people sitting on stages in every county across this country have one thing in common – they don’t believe in anything. They do not live their lives with any code or with any values. And that’s exactly why they were chosen. They are the useful idiots we have read about in our history books – the tools used to demoralize nations.
Make no mistake. We are at a precipice in our nation’s history. Either we are going to continue on the path we are on, allowing these useful idiots to decay us from within, or we are going to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors, and fight back against those who seek to destroy us. The time is now to stand up to this tyrannical machine – starting right here in our own back yards.
First, we take back our schools, then we take back our counties, then we take back our states. And finally, as one United States, we take back our government and put it in the hands of men and women who will do right by We the People…
To the useful idiots out there – remember this. You are on the wrong side of history. If you think your Global Masters are coming to save you, you have grossly misunderstood how this ends for you. If you are successful – and you won’t be – in helping them topple this county – you will be the first ones rounded up by your Global Masters. Because they know you stand for nothing. They know you’re the weakest among us… Lastly to the Global Masters – (spits) You’re on a precipice of your own – a meeting with the unstoppable force of God-fearing free men. We’ll see you soon.
Flannery was followed by his wife Vicky Flannery. She was wearing a shirt that said “Moms for Liberty.” She used her time at the microphone to berate the board about the book “All Boys Aren’t Blue” which she said was part of the collection in the Oak Park Elementary School Library, and according to Flannery, “was removed because of one of our parents.” She read an excerpt from the book which could probably qualify for an X-rating.
Stephan Ross said that last year his son “was one of the students that were subject to the lineup, or I don’t know what they’re calling it, the privilege lineup. He came to us with concern and told us what Ms. Chapelle [his teacher] had done, and one of his teachers had asked him what that was all about. He explained to us that they lined up against the wall and if they said yes to a question they should step forward … She pulled a Band-Aid out of her pocket, I guess it was a tan-colored one – some of the kids stepped forward, some of them didn’t. He said that one of the girls in the class got yelled at and was told to stand back because she wasn’t the color of the Band-Aid. Apparently, she was an Indian girl, so she didn’t quite match the Band-Aid. Then the typical questions – Do you have an iPhone, do you have a SmartPhone? Do both your parents work? Are your parents married? Do they live at home? All questions that I just don’t find he has to let anybody know what is behind private doors.
Yanni Lambros accused the board members of virtue signaling, rather than helping people. He said “You don’t want to have a conversation. You just want to sit there, lecture and virtue signal.” “The community is waking up,” he said, and they will turn out on November 2. They will be voting – for [Republican candidates] Kennedy, Snyder, Bradica and Froelich Many people will be voting – You out.
Kimberly from Hatfield suggested that “the mask mandates are taking away a child’s best way to protect themselves [from predators].”
Jessica Bradica, one of the Republican candidates in the North Penn School Board race, expressed concern about African Americans and Asians, claiming that “only 11% of African Americans and 5% of Asians are vaccinated, that is disproportionality,” she said.
Oyekundbi Rudnick was not particularly appreciative of Bradica’s distress regarding the low vaccination rate among People of Color. “I want to make it clear, that is not the case in this township [disproportionality],” she said. “We don’t need you to stand up for us. We can stand up for ourselves, very clearly… Please, that is the most insincere nonsense. I would actually prefer, you know, the people who come here and spit, than that nonsense of insincerity.””
Although they were outnumbered by the people who expressed their dissatisfaction, those who were supportive of the board were by no means unrepresented among the speakers during Public Comment.
Alexis Drolet, for example, said that “these public comments lately have been used to instill fear in the public, using buzzwords… I am proud to raise my children in a district that actually sees and recognizes the diversity of its student population, instead of just pretending that we have all had the same lived experiences.”
The North Penn School District is comprised of seven municipalities in Central-East Montgomery County
As recently as 2013, Republicans swept the North Penn School Board Election. But in 2015, Democrats won two seats on the board, and in 2017 Democrats swept all four of the seats that were being contested. In 2019 Democrats won all six contested seats on the North Penn School Board. But compared Lower Merion/Narberth, where Republicans couldn’t even muster 25% of the vote in the 2019 School Board election, in the North Penn School Board race, Republicans were within striking distance, winning 44% of the vote.
Turnout for 2019’s school board election in North Penn was about 36%, compared to almost 80% in last year’s presidential election.
[…] As reported here earlier, the North Penn School Board race had turned into a culture war, with Republicans riding the national wave of opposition to CRT (Critical Race Theory) – whatever that might be. The CRT wave was instrumental in flipping the Virginia Gubernatorial race. […]
