A bizarre racist outburst at a Texas school board isn’t an isolated event — it’s part of a national pattern

Fucking thank you, Amanda Marcotte. Nail on the head.
And thank you for using the word “innocuous” because my god it’s a picture of people holding hands in a school. It probably had something like “teamwork makes the dream work” on it because holy fuck these people probably boil their eyeballs in piss before they stick them in their sockets.
Yeah, it’s good to see reporters actually pressing back on these blatant trolls with their well understood tactics. It’s a shame, however, that the more centrist media is rarely willing to do the same. It’s a common trap that people think you must give equal time to both sides in order to be fair. Reality is that some sides are so dumb and inconsequential that they don’t deserve any air time.
It’s stupid that the school district even moved the kid to a different class. They never should have caved an inch. That just empowers these maniacs to keep doing this racist, time wasting drivel.
Amanda is legit and has been for a long time.
I don’t know why this made it click in my head but yeah, they think their imagined hurt feelings are more important than everyone else.
