Tea Party extremist for school board
Infrequently I return to Randy Toman, the ol’ Tea Party blogger at the Lehigh Valley Conservative.
He’s the Pennsy ex-union anti-union goldbug, equipped with the Bible and scripture, judging and shaking his head at all the heathens ruining America.
Normally, this wouldn’t matter.
But Toman is running for school board in Bethlehem School District. And his views make him totally unfit for any elected office, particularly any one involved in shaping the environment in which children are educated.
Most recently, from his blog, the toxic fundie-Christian Tea Party philosophy of wanting to teach creationism in public school:
Anybody that has read anything about the school districts around the country knows the gathering of students to pray or discuss God and Christianity are discouraged, challenged and shut down from happening.
The attempt to teach creationism or intelligent design will close a school district down and bring out the Darwin supporters along with the ACLU.
The extremists get elected when the local media — in the Lehigh Valley, two fairly bad newspapers, The Morning Call and the Easton Express — fall down on the job and neglect to inform people on what the names on the local ballots really believe in.
