So if you’re a regular reader of this site, you might have seen yesterday’s post, which detailed the Capo Unified School Board run of one Linda Shepherd, Moms For Liberty prototype and the bastard love child of Lisa Davis, Jennifer Adnams, Colonel Sanders and the fifth psalm.
And while researching ol’ Shep, I headed over to her Instagram feed and saw the above image—featuring Linda alongside Sonja Shaw.
If you don’t pay attention to these things, Sonja isn’t merely a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction, but a uniquely cruel and compassion-deprived woman. Hell, last year she made a big show out of attending an area high school track and field meet to berate the mother of a trans athlete, as well as the trans athlete. Who, to state the obvious, was just a kid and deserved no such hatred.
If you don’t believe me, here’s the video …
And, with elections less than two months away, I’d like to ask Linda Shepherd how she feels about Sonja Shaw. How she feels about trans students. How she feels about making trans student feel like dog excrement.
I would like to ask her whether Shaw’s behavior was appropriate, and whether—were she on the board—she would defend the child.
I would like to ask a whole lot of questions, because those who run hardest on morality are often—if not always—the most morally compromised and bankrupt.
PS: “Courage is doing the right thing even if you are afraid”—says the woman who voted for Donald Trump.
I no longer recognize my country. These hateful people seem to fly their freak flags high since the monster occupying the White House grows more embolden by the day; he who knows no shame. I never suspected how widespread cruelty was--a third of the voting citizens? Oh, dear. Thanks, Jeff, for shining the light on these folks who want to take over our schools.
