A far-right member of the school board in a Texas town, who has been on a crusade to ban books, was censured on Wednesday night for allegedly lying to gain access to a high school library.

The 5-2 vote to reprimand Karen Lowery came after dozens of residents of Granbury—evenly divided between those who were appalled by her actions and those who defended her—spoke during a five-hour meeting about what’s being called Librarygate.

Hmmm. Entering a school under false pretenses, sneaking around in the dark.

Sounds pretty pedophileish to me.

    It's entirely interesting that she quotes God, saying, "Vengeance is mine." As though that somehow justifies taking matters into her own hands. That's precisely what the quote is saying she shouldn't do.

    I guess it makes sense that reading and comprehension aren't her strong suit.

    The most surprising part is that she didn't burst into flames immediately upon entering a room full of books.

    WWJD? He'd spend time with the kids talking to them and being a good example in the open. Jesus never skulked that I know of.

    Part of the good word talks about buckets of horse cum. Teach the good word!

    I was about to correct you but you're right. It's definitely donkey cock and horse spooge (which seems like a very specific distinction to make).

    The King James version gave me a titter

    For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

    The NET Bible (whatever that is) cutting right to the chase and getting all literal though

    She lusted after their genitals--as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions

    wipes brow

    Can we come up with a new suffix? I'm tired of things ending in hate, I wasn't even alive during that administration.
