      Two brainwashed racist assholes on a school board. They are directly affecting the lives of children. And you don’t think we should care?

        And these brain-wormed zombies are trying to get elected to school boards across the country in a coordinated effort. This isn’t some isolated incident.

        Hey bud you should care but unless you’re a local or planning on movie to Conroe, your comment will not do nothing but stroke your ego. Enjoy them fake internet points your earned by showing how upset you are on place filled with like minded people.

          So, no action is ithe best action, or what? Do you have a better idea other than letting or voice be heard?

          It’s weird, I keep getting a lot of arguments that people are just screaming into the void, and we should stop. Why shouldn’t we shout from the rooftops? They are.

      Oh, but you are also decrying any reaction at all.

      Saying something is not acceptable is action.

        Nope I think we need to start going after the big fish that incited the culture war bullshit. These two racist will most likely be voted out soon, but in the process the article just created more noise in place filled with people yelling already.

          So your solution is to yell at the people yelling and then feel smug about your enlightened stance?

      OPPOSE THEM.

      Vote them out. Call them out on every platform available, don’t take their bullshit excuses for reasons; dig deeper. Identify the groups they call home and write exposes. Rub their noses in the issues they’re afraid to own: show the world what and who they are. If their ugliness and connections are on display they lose the chance to rope in the unknowing because now everyone knows.

      “We can’t do anything” is the siren call of the couchsitter who finds that a more comfortable place than the fence.

        Dope guy makes sense but that still doesn’t change my opinion that the article is rage bate on the level conservatives put out. Frankly I think it’s rage bait to sway minority groups back to the democratic party since trans people have been unfortunately the scape goat republicans use since Trump’s comments about Mexicans have backfired. Republicans have been gaining support from certain minority groups since that story has died down and democratic have noticed. And no I’m not advocating for tolerance of the intolerant. I just don’t believe we should make a big deal about a couple of idiots comments because when something actual note worthy happens it will just becomes more noise in the constant news of culture war.

            Didn’t miss the point. The reason these idiots even have a platform is because you and OP are giving it to them. Your falling for the rage bait and spreading it through a post just how conservatives started to spread bullshit on Facebook. Unless your following up with an actual call for action your just spreading their message and so far alot of responses on this post have been just “fuck em”.
