California School Board Member Faces Recall After Bizarre Anti-Vaxxer, Homophobic Rant
Chino, California residents are actively seeking to recall a member of the local school board after he went on a 10-minute rant which included derogatory references to school vaccinations, immigrants, and adoption rights for same-sex couples.
Andrew Cruz, a conservative Christian member of the Chino Valley Unified School District, made the comments during a meeting on July 16, saying:
Children are not commodities that can be severed from their natural parents and traded between unrelated adults. Parenting will be defined, erasing and replacing with gender-neutral legal parent, erasing biological natural parenthood [so] that states would ignore childrens’ foremost right: their immutable, intrinsic yearning to know and be raised by their own biological parents. Gender of parents matter for the health and developments of children….READ MORE at LiberalAmerica.org

He claimed…..”that we’ve never required anyone to be vaccinated in order to get a job”……for me to become certified to teach in Connecticut, I had to update all my vaccinations. You would think this “administrator” would do some sort of fact checking before he went on this diatribe.

WHAT?
You don’t need no vaccines.
Those ninnies should have taken one look at you and figured the obvious – you’re too sweet for any viruses or bacterias to want to grab ahold of you or anything.
Don’t none of them bastids up there know anything about women?
I wish you lived down here because we could walk through my garden and watch the bugs fly away when they see you coming….

Yes, I like to flirt, but only with certain women. I hvae been told and believe my taste in women is superb. Where I come from flirting was the sort of thing we were taught from an early age.
Rule Number One is always remember that the purpose of the man on earth is to serve the lady, making her way easier, for she is not just one of the fairer sex, but a member of the superior sex. From there as boys we learned to bow, kiss hands and to stylishly doff our hats to the lady.
This is something I’ve always enjoyed. I like to go into a small, old-fashioned country town nearby on Sundays after church is out. I like wearing dress clothes and an encounter I enjoy much is strolling downtown and seeing some ladies in their finery and fancy hats coming the other way and I greet them, pronounce it a bee-yoo-ti-ful day, sweep my broad-brimmed straw hat from my head out to one side as I drop to a knee, compliment them on the beauty of their outfits while pronouncing it a grand day. A brief item of chit-chat later and I’m on my way after a briefer bow and a vague motion that might have been a hat-tip.
There’s only one way to pull something like that off and it is to be raised as a Southerner by a belles and gentlemen smoothing rough edges and helping to tease my style out of me. In the end it’s all natural. If it were not it would look preposterous. At times it can feel as if one is out on a tightrope, but I always make it to the other side.
If you’re gonna live, then live, I say. If you go to the pool don’t just dip a toe in the water – dive in! Enjoy life and make it enjoyable for others.

That is a wonderful way to live life

Thank you very much.
I, uhhh, just need a woman to live it with……the ,i>right woman…….HINT!…HINT!…HINT!
Sometimes I wish I had worked out some of these philosophical things when I was much younger.
The things I described all cost nothing.
I come up with all kinds of things because of my creativity.
Once one is minded to spice things up, ideas begin to come. One move I want to make before my time here is done is the Sir Walter Raleigh move of taking off my jacket and laying it across a mud puddle so she doesn’t dirty her dainty, lovely shoes.
I also try to keep things simple and as uncomplicated as possible.
Some of my fave flirting has come at certain social events I attend. A few times a year I am invited to some pretty posh events where many of the others are leading Republicans in the state. Governor, lt. governor – all those cats as well as a few filthy-rich donors.
My move is to lay it on thick to their wives. Now I’m not talking about romantical flirting or anything, I just be extra nice and charming; attentive, too. It’s all innocent, at least on paper. There can’t be any cause for offense, especially since the husband or one of his friends might be right there.
When I’m on it just comes out naturally and because of the setting and my ulterior motive, I get a bit of a thrill out of it.
My goal is to get it to the place where she regards the way I treat her and then thinks of her husband, and perhaps glances his way while thinking, “Now why can’t he be like that?”
No words are said to confirm such a moment, of course, but I’ve gotten it there quite a few times. A couple of my friends at these things know what I’m doing and sometimes they have to walk off before being overcome with a case of the giggles.
Later, standing by the canapes, one of them will come up and tell me, “I can’t believe you said that!” or “I can’t believe how you get away with that stuff!”

Facts? Only used when convenient; ignored when troublesome.

That seems to be their nature.

Another christianist idiot on a school board, pushing his agenda and doing absolutely no good for either the students or teachers.
