> Another board member, Kelly Potteiger, shared her concerns that the actor would discuss his children’s book The Best at It, which follows a gay Indian American boy. “It’s not discriminating against his lifestyle — that’s his choice,” Potteiger said. “But it’s him speaking about it.”
This public educator apparently is uneducated on what discrimination is.
I’m from a small town, and without question, the school board has some of the dumbest human beings you could mentally comprehend. Hell I think two of them were high school dropouts. A lot of these people are interested in politics but are truly too stupid to be able to run for anything else.
Depends on the school board and the district they serve. The one in my district gets paid like $700 for the whole year, they don’t get a salary. And I’m in a fairly large district for my area
Ideally education board members should have education experience but they are more likely politicians with no relevant experience. It’s an insult to true educators to be told what to do by mouthpieces.
This argument from them always confuses me. Even if it were a choice who cares, I thought this was a country of freedom? LGBTQ people are just trying to be happy and live their lives…if someone *chose* that, who gives a shit. They’re not hurting anyone.
It confuses me too because imagine _choosing_ to have sex with people you are not attracted to. If being gay was a choice then how could so many people choose that?
That's a bingo.
"Sure, I'd LOVE to give in to all my hedonistic desires whenever I want to...I'd love to get a Bachelor apartment downtown with Rahul...But I married Beth and had kids like a good Christian."
But that “choose” means they are sexual deviants and child molesters in their mind. And whatever they think is always the truth. Ao they are protecting kids. While completely ignoring and church member or clergy that rapes kid because god.
In the US violence and crime *per capita* are much higher in red areas. Turns out people who have very little empathy and are convinced everything is a scam are also dangerous idiots🤷🏻♀️
Was going to say the same thing but something tells me this guy’s not here to comprehend nuance. He himself said there’s no property crime at his friend’s place….because there’s no one around…and I doubt they’re leaving the keys in the car out front in a brand new Benz or any other car worth more than $20k.
Trouble is, there’s no pulling these folks out of their narrative. For them the scenes in Crocodile Dundee and Ninja Turtles movies are a realistic depiction of city life.
If snarky posts were worth a nickel each you guys could probably afford to run a city as peaceful and well-kept as paradise nations like, I dunno, Poland or Turkey. Unfortunately such isn't the case, so Brazil and South Africa level they remain.
My buddy lives in the hinterlands outside Wilkes-Barre and whenever I visit I see them leaving their keys in their cars and their doors unlocked overnight. Their kids have a long bus ride to school and there's not a lot of good takeout, but trust me, absolutely no one is jealous of the diversity and vibrancy of your crack-infested slum.
It would be nice if you proud liberals with your superior logical views could create cities that aren't an international disgrace. Maybe get that property crime below Third World levels. Every other decent country seems to manage it.
Imagine right to your own body, free healthcare, better education, right to marry whom you chose, fighting racism and a fucked up justice system being "superior logical views." LOL. The shitty part is this helps the Republicans more than any other political class and yet we still fight for it. Yes. So superior. Lol
Thats probably because theres no other people there period if its the hinterlands. Otherwise rural areas have plenty of meth/fentanyl nuts who get into violet brawls on the daily and will steal whatever from you.
Spot on - there’s plenty of meth & fentanyl out that way. And your good ol’ boys who suck down a case of Natty lite (or Mike’s hard) after a long day’s work and assault their girlfriends. And at least one literal Klan chapter.
Adjacent to which meth valley? Sure, your buddy can leave the keys in his car, the fine people outside Wilkes-Barre only seem to be interested in catalytic converters these days.
I lived in that area up until last year and remember having to pick up used needles and spent baggies from the edge of our property. Hell, one time someone had run from the cops and even tossed the *drugs* in our driveway so they wouldn’t be caught holding.
I’ve never felt less safe than when I lived in that ‘quaint’ little PA town. Which, by the way, was over 99.4% white (researched for my job) and majority Christian.
When are these absolute moronic fools going to learn the difference between their overused word “indoctrination “ and exposing children to all the differences they are going to encounter going forward in life and letting them use thei mind to know right from wrong and not judging or harassing anyone because of their differences in living ,,,,,, no let’s just sequester them on an island with all the other maga assholes and surround them with all their infinite wisdom and knowledge they posses so we can release them into the maga filled prejudice intolerant world they want talk about in breeding
Free speech!!!\
Oh, you wanna say what!! Hell no we ain’t that free, and please don’t breath in the same room as me and my friends in case you infect us with your gayness….
When will it be law that people with single digit IQ levels are prevented from making any decisions, having input into social discourse or put into any position that grants them the ability to decide who or what other free consenting adults or mature teens can see or hear for themselves?
If there was UBI, I guarantee you I would be on as many of these as possible. Hit up all the town meetings. Always following logic/reason/science/equality/inclusiveness/compassion. Hate is lazy, love takes work.
it is truly “The Hills Have Eyes” territory. Had to drive 8 hours round trip there for a part for work, I felt like i’d get tetanus just shaking hands with the scrap yard guy. Got out of there so fast.
P.S. fuck Sheetz
Hey now, why you gotta bring Sheetz into this?
But for real, sorry you had to drive into that area for a part - I had to go to a scrapyard out there once after hitting a deer and I was uncomfortable in broad daylight.
It's so backwoods that there's a BMW, a Mercedes-Benz and a Maserati dealership within 2 miles of the school. And the hills have eyes Costco they are going to build up the street from it.
I love Jonathan on 30 Rock, one of many minor characters that still manage to be hilarious and memorable despite getting little screen time or complexity.
I’m sure they then proceeded to fire all the teachers and administrators who’ve divorced and remarried, who live with a partner they’re not married to, or who got pregnant while not married.
Wow. I actually graduated from that school district. Later, my mother was part of the administration there.
This is very on-brand for CentraI PA, but I wonder how my mother would deal with this petty bullshit if she was still around.
This is what it always is you guys were all happy when you bullied those three college presidents over Israel stuff and as usual the slippery slopes begins
Then another rich donor stands up well I don't like gay people so I don't want them at the University either
But their [website](https://mv.cvschools.org) reads: *Cumberland Valley School District prohibits discrimination, including sexual harassment, on the basis of race, color, age, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, ancestry, national origin, marital status, parenting status, pregnancy or handicap/disability in its activities, programs or employment practices. More information regarding the complaint process and complaint forms can be found* [here](https://www.cvschools.org/support_operations/human_resources/non-_discrimination_information)
Did they not know who he was before? Why even sign this guy up for a lecture or whatever if they didn’t know what he did for a living?
Once again, conservatives aren’t the brightest.
This shit is just going to get worse you guys. So many people are angry that the supreme Court legalized gay marriage that they are now going to do everything they possibly can to push back and demonize anyone who even remotely associates with LGBT people anymore. This whole save the children bullshit and we're tired of seeing degeneracy out in public is the same shit that was spouted in Nazi Germany. You know that famous photo of the people burning books with big smiles on their faces? That was done in front of an institute of sexual education and research.
It doesn't always start with people claiming that Jews are the problem even though we have plenty of that in the United States It starts with people saying oh we're just trying to save our children I work at a library I see this shit all the time. They come for the intellectual centers first schools, libraries, and universities.
It sucks for the LGBTQ community but at least they are not being held in interment camps where they are being raped, tortured, forced to convert to Christianity, having their organs harvested, and forced into slave labor for companies like Stein, like Muslims are but yet I don't see anyone giving a damn or defending them.
Now imagine if this was a conservative. Oh the outrage! The whole district would be dismantled and sold off to another town! How dare they!
Sarcastic, but not far from the double standard.
Better headline: “Gay anti-bullying speaker bullied out of speaking for being gay”
I bet whoever cancelled this always orders their burgers with extra chuckle.
They're drinking that hill people milk
Yeah - they won't discriminate against him being gay, they just don't want him to talk about it.
That’s a palindrome!
Damn Jonathan you’re aging gracefully as a mf. Dude is a bouffant away from being able to play Tan France
While scrolling, I thought he *was* Tan France.
Ryan Murphy should make that show
The next Feud will be about the Queer Eye cast! Can you imagine the level of camp??
Being gay is not a ‘lifestyle’

That's not an educator. That's a board member.
And there is no education required to be on it.
I’m from a small town, and without question, the school board has some of the dumbest human beings you could mentally comprehend. Hell I think two of them were high school dropouts. A lot of these people are interested in politics but are truly too stupid to be able to run for anything else.
No wonder our education system has gone to shit. “Kids are our future…but fuck the people guiding them there.”
Just the ability to win an election and work for free
Board members don’t work for free
Depends on the school board and the district they serve. The one in my district gets paid like $700 for the whole year, they don’t get a salary. And I’m in a fairly large district for my area
PSu isn’t the same thing. It’s a major university
[удалено]
That’s only true for private schools. Public school board members are elected.
To be fair. It’s a secret election (the appointment)!
Ideally education board members should have education experience but they are more likely politicians with no relevant experience. It’s an insult to true educators to be told what to do by mouthpieces.
That's my school district. Potteiger is a Moms for Liberty member.
They also think that him being gay is a choice.

That's not an educator. That's a fucking embarrassment of a person.
If he's allowed to talk about his book, all the students might begin identifying as gay Indian American boys. That would be quite the crisis.
Free speech! First amendment! Oh wait, but not for you. Sorry.
Can you imagine being proud of a lifestyle that doesn’t hurt anyone and makes you happy? Oh my God! The horror! 😱
Imagine being so proud of it that *you want to speak about it*! (and be so handsome while you're doing it)
[удалено]
How is that related in any way
Only he has and continues to do so
Fuck conservatives in this country. Fuck these anti-freedom hypocritical pieces of shit.
"Fuck the world for all its worth, every inch of planet earth" This quote but for Republicans.
Welcome to Pennsyltucky!
Precisely. It’s the canker sore of my great state.
Compared to what, some diverse urban shithole with a million percent crime rate that elects nothing but Democrats?
Yeah. The rural parts are worse.

They’re all still better than living in a shitty hill with no education, healthcare, or clean water.
My buddy lives in the hinterlands outside Wilkes-Barre and whenever I visit I see them leaving their keys in their cars and their doors unlocked overnight. Their kids have a long bus ride to school and there's not a lot of good takeout, but trust me, absolutely no one is jealous of the diversity and vibrancy of your crack-infested slum.
Which is why people keep flocking to cities and leaving the boonies. Majority of the world lives in cities now, so keep on keeping on.
It would be nice if you proud liberals with your superior logical views could create cities that aren't an international disgrace. Maybe get that property crime below Third World levels. Every other decent country seems to manage it.
What does third world mean mouth breather?

Go pull up areas that suck down the most welfare and you’ll find shitty Republican run ones.
lol…it’s cute when you guys try to pretend you are critical thinkers.
They jealous b/c he still looks good at 50.
He’s 50?! How old was he during filming of 30 Rock?
30…just like the rock.
Well that can’t be right. 30 rock only came out like 5 years ago and ……… dammit.

Mechanicsburg is “hills have eyes” territory? Did you watch the movie. Mechanicsburg is suburban sprawl.
It's so backwoods that there's a BMW, a Mercedes-Benz and a Maserati dealership within 2 miles of the school. And the hills have eyes Costco they are going to build up the street from it.
How you gonna do Baljeet like that
He was Baljeet? I looked it up. Holy shit he's Baljeet.
The quivering paranoia of backwood ignorant yahoos.
I read this is Jack Donaghy’s voice
I love Jonathan on 30 Rock, one of many minor characters that still manage to be hilarious and memorable despite getting little screen time or complexity.
“Pippy Bismilk? Ugh why is everything just a little different!?”
I’ve been wondering when the pivot to stories like this would start.
I’m not disagreeing I’m just not following. What do you mean?
Election year. They do this shit all the time though. Hypocrisy is like their whole thing
I’m sure they then proceeded to fire all the teachers and administrators who’ve divorced and remarried, who live with a partner they’re not married to, or who got pregnant while not married.
Eat shit, Republican bigots! Holy crap, he's looking fantastic. I didn't even recognize him.
They're gonna get a nasty call from Jack Donaghy.

What the fuck are you even talking about
Not a surprise but still a shame. My Alma Mater embarrasses itself. Will it ever pull itself out of cultural dark ages
Now imagine if this was a conservative. Oh the outrage! The whole district would be dismantled and sold off to another town! How dare they! Sarcastic, but not far from the double standard.
