School Board Member melts down because white man held a brown baby
2020-07-08

in New York somewhere

partial transcript below

"We had over 100 parents write you [Maron] a letter explaining why a member of this council was extraordinarily offensive and racist during a meeting . . . A member of this council was racist and I did nothing and I'm ashamed I did nothing and I can sit here during a public meeting and say I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I didn't speak out verbally when multiple times during the meeting one of the members engaged in behavior that made me ache and hurt for the non-white people that were logged in."

What was the offensive behavior?

Said council member, during the meeting, had a family member visiting, with a child "of color" (his nephew/a family friend – it isn't clear), as they say, and held that child on his lap during the meeting, saying "my living room is integrated."

#12  One has to understand that these communist campaigns are never about the purported issues.

The goal is to keep the populace in a permanent state of terror and insecurity.

Even if the subject of a totalitarian regime meticulously obeys the draconian and unjust rules he can never be secure in any rights and assets, however meager.

This is always about total obedience brought on by permanent terror.

This is why discussing the merits of communist complaints is futile.

As long as the regime hasn't been established in earnest, the proper counter strategy is uncompromising defiance by unapologetically exercising each and every civil and human right.

They're just a bunch of sadistic megalomaniacs demanding absolute power, and our absolute submission.

#11  The social justice warriors always impart the worst of motives to everyone except themselves; and they come up lacking. They have tried to set themselves up as the arbiters of morality for the rest of us. This young women ought to shut up and watch and listen more.

#9  Not that having 'education professionals' run the place would do it any better.

That's basically what happens now. The school board usually rubber stamps what the superintendent asks for and there are usually several board members who are also working or retired teachers who always vote the union line.

#7  The leftist ideology is racist and would put people in those separate races into a caste system.

They want to bring everything back that we fought so hard to eradicate.

#6  My family has been described as a 'United Nations Family', Blacks, Whites, Asians, Native Americans, Inuit, and so one.

My nephew's wife, a sweet 6'1" robust African-American, would have gutted this women like a deer had she said something disparaging about me holding my cute grand-niece on my lap.

And yes, she's a hunter and knows how to do that.

#4  School boards remind me of the olden days when military ranks were purchased. That second or third son given a purpose in life beyond his capacities. Not that having 'education professionals' run the place would do it any better. School choice and let the market decide.

#3  As a noob reporter I covered a lot of school board meetings. People unqualified to be dog catcher or sewer authority board member often serve on school boards.
