SBOE District 12 candidates are whackadoodle

Cooke County Republican Women had another candidate forum Feb. 1, and it was a doozy.

First, it allowed candidates in contested races who weren't part of the forum to speak briefly.

Doug Robison, the one candidate for CD-26, talked about how “we have a bad debt problem” without mentioning how much of that was caused by Trump. Scott Armey, appearing later, talked about an meet and greet he has in the Denton area next week, featuring his dad and Phil Gramm, touting them as old fiscal conservatives, which is halfway true and came off as a call-out against many modern Republicans as well as Democrats.

Two other candidates for CD-26 talked about how they had escaped from “communism,” aka California.

Now, one of the three races on the forum was for State Board of Education, District 12. And it's there that the real fun started.

Chad Green for SBOE 12, the deliberately over the top bubba from McKinney, touted how incumbent Pam Little was criticized by places like Texas Express. Jamie Kohlmann wasn't far behind. The Texas Rangers WERE racist, per the book by Doug Swanson. (You have to love how people who claim to worry about school kids being indoctrinated are actually the biggest indoctrinators.)

Supporting multi-family housing in smaller communities is also, according to Green, liberal.

Kohlmann talked about Harvard and DEI policies, ignoring that Bill Ackman's ultimate goal there is is wingnuttery and Zionism.

Both Green and Little, by proxy, mentioned HB 900 without mentioning how the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals had just ruled broad chunks of it unconstitutional.
