I bet the superintendent thinks one of the best things about living in Texas is how free they are... completely oblivious to the irony.

his full page advert starts with "I tried to get a letter to the editor printed on the Houston Chronicle during the pandemic to criticize their guidance, but they wouldn't publish me."

This guy cannot possibly be more of a dumbass, digging his own grave. When the fuck is this POS greg poole getting fired?

Ahh yes the unity and conformity the United States, current colony of Britain, user of the metric system, who spells it colour, is famous for.

Fascism on the rise.

I hate to see this kid go through all of this, but I love to see so many piss-baby snowflakes get their underwear bunched all the way up in their throats. I hope they fucking choke.

The American way is dynamism not conformity. The fabric of America is constantly changing and to survive the problems of the future we're going to need creative critical thinking and not just mindless automatons conforming to authority.

When every child at school doesn't have that Hitler Youth look 😤😤😤

Can we find a page wide ad defending the fact that Greg Poole is a giant douche asshole?

This dude thinks his school district is West Point.

They need to get rid of him right the fuck now. It's wannabes like this that always apply the wrong policies for the wrong reasons.

I'm not sure why they get to set the standard for what people need to conform to, but somehow never have to make any compromises of their own.

Imagine believing that you are in the right about this, while also believing that it's normal for your disciplinary decisions to require a full page editorial.

The whole problem with conservatives these days is that they can't just take an L, no matter how fucking stupid.

Can't believe this guy's ideological allies paid to put these words into print. This is the sort of parody statement you'd put out to make fun of him.

You will be assimilated, resistance is futile.

Conformity? So then ultimately because the kid is black, he'll never be able to "conform" since Texas has a majority white population. So the guy is pretty much saying that the kid's in the wrong for just existing.

I wonder if this superintendent dude realizes the can of worms he’s opened up with this ad and couldn’t be any more wrong…

Yes, because the First Amendment clearly states:

Congress shall make no law respecting a deviance from an established religion, or allowing the free exercise thereof; or permitting the freedom of speech which deviates from the agreed norms, or of the press which dissents our ideals; or the right of the people we don't agree with peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government to exacerbate restrictions on my behalf.

(did the best I could for a quick bathroom satire)

“Ultimately, this is an issue of local control and deciding who should be setting the policies, goals and expectations of our school district,” Poole wrote.

This in a state that banned COVID related mandates by local governments, passed a law allowing the state to interfere in Houston elections (a Democratic stronghold), and took over Texas' largest school district (Houston ISD) - firing librarians and turning school libraries into "disciplinary centers". They also rushed to use eminent domain to seize land for Trump's border wall.

I guess that's the kind of state and local officials you get when You May Have The Worst Gerrymander In The Country

Edit: spelling and added more sources.

Nazis + Taliban = American christofascists.

Stop it before it's to late.

Imagine looking so fly you get kicked out of school.

Absolute legend.
