LOL "I'm betting $100 that LInda Shepard is the mom who hands out raisins on Halloween"

Appreciate the levity, Jeff, and for keeping us informed. God bless you for that, we need to know these things.

I swear it's like playing whack-a-mole with these people. They're all so batshit crazy, they keep popping up everywhere, and who has the emotional energy to keep up? But keep up we must.

Thank you for the yeoman's work. We all must do our part.

PPPS: third from right in bottom photo is Barke’s fellow OCBE board member Lisa Sparks, who was re-elected in June (Barke drew no opponent and will continue on the board).

She stands for "family values"? What the hell does that mean exactly? Families as portrayed in "Leave it to Beaver" or "Father Knows Best"? As in all white patriarchy, protestant, presumably Republican? Don't black and brown kids have loving families, even if (gasp) they don't speak English at home? And what about trans kids? Don't they have families who love them?

And what the hell was the deal with the pro-Judy post? Judy is the real choice of teachers, not the teachers' union? Geez Louise, does Linda Shepard speak to any teachers or even know any teachers? Hey Linda, WHY do you think most teachers belong to the union - is part of it the hostility they get from right wing extremists? I wonder if Linda is hostile to the police union or firefighters' union. Probably not. The sheer hypocrisy drives me crazy - we're ok with police officers and firefighters right for collective bargaining, but how dare teachers unionize! While we're at it, let's blame teachers for just about every one of society's ills!

She sounds like the LAST person we want on the school board! Teachers are heroes!

Anybody going to tell her teachers ARE the union?

future isn't up there ??? Good jumping Jesus, what is the MATTER with America? These people are just disgusting . . .

Do we have anyone on our side running against any of these right-wingers?

Listen. In a sane world those two photos showing her sartorial choices would be enough to lose votes. Does not look like a South County Mom. More like a Provo Utah transplant.

The long game for Lisa is IMO getting rid of Dr. Brown (Capo’s superintendent). For all her faults, Trustee Bullockus raves and defends Dr. Brown.

This is about having the votes Lisa needs.

I sure hope people spread the word.

So who is going to step up and run against Linda Shepherd? It's easy to agree with Jeff's assessment, but who's going to put their money where their mouth is and run?
