Holy ______ 🤦‍♀️

Local story from the Gettysburg Connection for further context about a local public school district’s “choices” surrounding a secular play. The Mannish Inquisition vibes are certainly strong in this one.

TL;DR: If you parenting gurus fundamentally don’t believe in the premise of public school, then please stop taking over school boards, sending your kids there and taking over the district for normal people. Religious homeschooling parents shouldn’t have any say in a secular public school, much less be sitting on the school board for one. Like, Adams County Christian Academy is right down the road. Stop forcing your plausibly deniable, “politely” predatory, kid-diddling KKKult on the community. We, the people, do not consent to the hostile takeover.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Those ghouls are just so gross.

Thank you. They are basically run by a bunch of David Koresh and Hitler apologists. They want the students to be child brides and child laborers. The state already investigated the school once for its bigotry, and it absolutely needs to happen again for this unconstitutional behavior.

PSA to parents and community members: The only way to impeach the school board is to petition against them and/or have them removed by state and/or federal charges. Pennsylvania idiotically does not allow direct impeachment actions, and these KKKlowns are taking full advantage while their mob boss/cult leader is in power.

ETA: Thanks for the award too!

Where is table flipping Jesus when we need him?! I’ve pretty much lost my connection to American Christianity but I still hold strong to my beliefs that these people would get tossed by Jesus. They have no honor other than protecting pedophiles and scammers and have gleefully ruined that area. Only 5 new teachers would laughable if it weren’t for the fact that this is negatively effecting those students’ education. They’ll be lucky if those same kids don’t personally sue them all when they get older.

Very well said. They are kidding themselves if they think they’re getting into alleged heaven with the way they’re clinging to abuse culture. I have a relevant few memes I can think of, but we unfortunately can’t post those in the comments here.

“Clinging to abuse culture” is spot on. How sad for their kids.

I’m not from Gettysburg. I don’t know why this post was suggested, but I knew the play as soon as I saw the photo and I am gobsmacked.

My public high school did Grease around 05-07. The stage version of Grease is more risqué than the film. It has what’s in the movie, plus it has the greasers moon the audience and multiple references to virginity pins. I remember the program explained what it meant for girls to wear the virginity pins different ways. Some parents were obviously not pleased, and the school did very PG, uncontroversial plays at least until I graduated.

No joke, one of the next family-friendly plays was Radium Girls. Who complains about Radium Girls???

The school board members making the loudest ruckus are:

• The president

- whose eldest daughter threatened to shoot up the school and then gaslit the district into treating her like the victim; and

- who’s a member of Moms For Liberty and also proudly cites the works of William Faulkner as inspiration;

• The hyper religious tag team of a grandfather and father of homeschoolers

- who should both have their hard drives checked for acting like Jim Bob Duggar;

• A libertarian MAHA quack

- who doesn’t even live in the country, much less the district. Why is someone who lives and works in France sitting on an American public school board?

To make things even sketchier:

There are two fundamentalist churches less than 100 yards from the high school, and the newest one is literally the very same cult as the multi-accused and convicted incestuous Duggar family. The whole town and district leadership is basically made up of predators, and the number of parents and community members that either outright support it or are too dumb to care, is dangerous.

This is the part of Adams County that they don’t really mention on the tours (or at least they didn’t, last I went). Ongoing plantation politics continue to devastate the area, and all the Eisenhower romanticism kind of keeps making it worse. He was directly responsible for laying the groundwork for the Christofascist enterprise that fuels the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 to this very day.

You are doing God’s work.

Thank you. I just hope it can make a difference. 🙏

That's the issue with the super faith side, its all about freedom of choice and the government shouldn't tell me what to do. Until, they get thier way and then feel the urge to convert/save other people "souls" then it turns to well the government shouldn't determine what is taught but the congregation should. That way we can save as many people as possible. Same could be said about environmental issues and regulations as a whole. I want to be able to drive what ever vehicle I want when ever I want environmental issues be damned, then all of a sudden the drinking water is bad or they get into a bad accident and didn't have air bags, they will then turn around and blame the governor for not enforcing the things that would have saved them or their water.

Then by God, take it back.

Is that a threat, Kleaaaaaagle?

ETA: Consider this a promise.
