There was no there there.

None. Not in their #evaluations. Not in their #amoebic #statements before their #vote to fire on Tuesday. Not in any #public #pronouncements they’ve made since they’ve been on the board. Not in the chamber’s #intellectually #dishonest #reading of #student

“I believe that she was improperly selected in the first place through #political #pressures from the #ACLU and #NAACP,” Cothran said, #stumbling on the #coloredpeople part, though she’s #Black, “mainly because of her status as an #out of the closet #lesbian, #married quote unquote, to a woman.”
