So many people have signed up to speak at the Hanover County School Board meeting on Nov. 9 that the board will hold a special meeting this week to hear from parents and community members on the board's proposed transgender student policies.

1. Lots of deep red good ole boys out there

and upper middle class McMansion divas.
Sounds like people trying to out outrage each other for clicks and, if there is a God, going viral.

2. Yep, they're looking for a target to shout their hatred and diabolical mouths at ...

Have I ever told you of my disdain for a large portion of the US citizenry.

3. Our meetings were on live stream for a while because they were trying to give people access.

What happens is the people speaking go for broke to see who can be the most outrageous. Yelling at board members, not allowing them to speak. People so stupid they think they can donate enough money to run the 51,000 student district so we can just not listen to the state and not care if they make us return 13 million dollars.

4. Some of the same type good ole boys ran into that with VMI

Va. Military Institute was all male and the alums were dead set on keeping it that way. Well it is a public school so yeah they needed to let women in. After the first young woman bailed VMI was sure of itself. Let’s take it private! they said. Then the Commonwealth said - heres the states share of your annual budget aaaaand they decided to let women in.

I looked it up. Basically they’d have to double their fundraising
$95M total budget - $19M from state general fund.
