Not sure which SFSD Board Members pulled their arses from their heads, but this was a wonderful way to engage the public about elections, etc.;

Nearly two dozen people attended an informational meeting about what it takes to be a school board member, and how to run for school board, for the Sioux Falls School District on Tuesday night.

Sioux Falls School District Board of Education President Carly Reiter and vice president Dawn Marie Johnson led the meeting, and explained that board members approve budgets and policies, hire and oversee the superintendent, develop and review policies, represent community interests in education and attend appropriate city, state and national events.

Imagine that, when you have a meeting at 6 PM on Tuesday night you can actually get people to attend (though this is at the same time of the council meeting.) You are also helping people to navigate the political landscape. While I appreciate the public engagement, we know that they will be handpicked, funded candidates that Poops and Matt Paulson pull from one of their prosperity gospel churches. The right wingers will likely put someone up to, though they didn’t have much luck the last two elections. I wonder if they also talked about how to file a campaign finance form that is not perjured?

I think it would be great if 24 people ran for school board. That’s what public engagement is about, not hiding in your basement doing jumping jacks.

  1. It’s all because of the loss of the middle class and now we have a fascist in the White House, too. Reagan’s tax cuts, Clinton’s NAFTA, Bush43’s incompetence, and now the return of ‘Clockwork Orange’…. Although perhaps, we can rebuild something of value from the devastation of climate change…. AND, now, I’ve heard it’s snowing in New Orleans…. But didn’t Uncle Sally Tomato warn us about that one?….:

    ( and Woodstock adds: “Snowing in New Orleans?”…… “What is it, a frozen Katrina?”….. “But ain’t they got a Super Bowl soon?”…. ( …. “Actually, I think you can get a Frozen Katrina at Dairy Queen”….. 🙂 ))

  2. Wow, I think that Miss Utah has spent way too much time near that Skinwalker Ranch. But I do appreciate how Miss Georgia understands that you need to first touch the ball. While, Miss South Carolina might have been ahead of her time with the phrase “U.S. Americans,” which should not be confused with Trump’s dream for U.S. Canadians and U.S. Greenlanders.

  3. Let’s say that Trump does acquire Greenland, then we go to war with Mexico, or at least its cartels, and then Greenlanders (“Suckers and losers”) are drafted into that war, would they then be known as the ultimate Gri(ee)ngos?
