WATCH: Texas Parent Strips to His Undies at School Board Meeting in Pro-Mask Statement
Snip
One of the parents who spoke up was James Akers, who prefaced his remarks by saying I do not like the government or any other entity just ask my wife telling me what to do. From there, Akers continued with an ironic spiel about rules, laws and other facets of society that people put up with for the common good.
At work, they make me wear this jacket. I hate it. They make me wear this shirt and tie. I hate it. On the way over here, I ran three stop signs and four red lights. I almost killed somebody out there, but by God, theyre my roads too. So I have every right to drive as fast as I want to, make the turns that I want to. I got over here to the school today, and the parking lot was full, and I decided I was going to park wherever the hell I wanted to, which, in this case, happened to be a handicap [spot].

Here's the original video from the meeting. His segment runs from 26:21 to 29:00 or so.
It's worth watching. He makes his points in less than 3 minutes!

We've seen nothing but focus on the Qrazies. Sometimes it takes a stunt to get media attention. Media loves a show.
