why the fuck is a schoolboard voting "along party lines." I know it's been this way for a while, but it doesn't make it any less stupid that your godamn political party decides your EVERY attitude in life.

"I'm a Republican because I want small government! Government so small it fits in my head and determines literally everything I do! I'm also a free-thinker by the way, or at least that's what Sean Hannity says I should call myself."

It’s a republican strategy decades in the making to “fix” the phenomenon of liberal schools. School board members now campaign on national right wing outlets.

You’d also love to know that some hospitals boards are public and therefore elected positions are available to the community.

In Sarasota County in Florida they tried to get enough votes to take over the board to change the hospital policy from following CDC policy and best practices to the sole discretion of the doctor. This would of allowed the hospital to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID.

It ultimately failed so they are now opening a clinic in Venice Florida that follows no guidelines. The other half of the building is a podcast studio.
