We need to find out what churches folks like this are being indoctrinated in and forcibly shut them down.

At the very least, tax those churches. Churches today are political. Not all of them, but a lot of them. That means they do not qualify for tax exempt status. Of course, any politician is terrified of going against the extremely vocal evangelical minority, so nothing will be done about it.

It's a large enough voting block of people wanting to turn back the clock on the US (in the worst way possible) to tempt anyone without morals

"Portillo and another administrator met with Vassar on Oct. 30 to discuss his mental health, along with school board matters. After leaving, he sent them emails with a total of 93 pages of comments, some of them profane."

Ah yes. That'll definitely prove you are mentally stable.

The Modesto Bee

Tuolumne County

the Union Democrat newspaper

Belleview Elementary School District board

six miles west of Twain Harte

I love an article where none of the handful of geographic clues mean anything to me. These sound like names in a fictional universe. Without just googling, I'm guessing Washington state.

Edit: Ahhhhh, California. "Modesto" should have been my strongest clue.

It should be illegal for conservatives to be employed in positions overseeing children in any way.

Conservatives are notorious for being opposed to science and education. They are infamous for racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny, bigotry, sexual assault of adults and sexual assault of children.

We should teach children why it is dangerous and immoral to keep company with conservatives. Never let your child be alone with a conservative. Never.

read in Revelations

They didn't have the reading comprehension to know it's "Revelation", as in "the Revelation of/to John", so....

Imagine thinking christian terrorists read the bible. No, they just find an angry enough loud person to read the violent parts out loud to them.

I really hope this guy gets a lot of serious mental help. And also has his guns taken away. And never works around children again.

Time for the guys with that long white jacket. This guy needs some real help asap, but needs to be separated from humanity for safety reasons until he is safe to come back.

Vassar was appointed to a vacancy on the three-member board in 2015 and won elections in 2016 and 2022.

So this guy wasn't even elected. Someone just put this obviously crazy person in a position of power. God bless America.

He won two elections, as noted in the bit you quoted, in 2016 and 2022, after initially being appointed

Might have been running unopposed. That's pretty common with school boards.

What is the diagnostic test for euthanizing people who are "that far gone" and who gets to administer it? Also, how do we get around that pesky eighth amendment?

Diagnostic test: They say batshit insane stuff, who administers: cops administer it (they have no problem doing the administering for non-white people) or they forcibly get admitted in a mental asylum.

So if you send someone 93 pages of emails, that is worthy of a death sentence?

I mean, as someone who hates getting email, I'm gonna say 'yes'.

I know you're joking, but the reaction to something like this shouldn't be "kill the guy," it should be "get the guy the help he obviously needs." Because suggesting we execute mentally ill people takes us down a very dark path.

How about 92 pages?

What if I show 100 per page and it's only 46 pages?

If you want to kill people with mental health issues, you need some help yourself. I hope you get better.
