Texas GOP Board Of Education Candidate: 'We Know We Didn't Come From Monkeys!'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 1/9/2014 1:25 pm

At a debate in Fort Worth on Monday, a Republican candidate for the Texas state board of education warned that the board is currently “using your tax dollars to brainwash our children into socialist issues and ideas.”

The candidate, Lady Theresa Thombs, also decried “people from socialist higher education” who support the teaching of evolution, a subject still hotly debated in the Texas Education Agency.

“We know we didn’t come from monkeys!” she exclaimed.

Thombs made her remarks at a debate hosted by a Tea Party group, the 912 Project Fort Worth.

Bud Kennedy of the Star-Telegram reports that Thombs considers herself an “international evangelist” who is “running to fight — her spellings — ‘adgendas and ideoligies.’”

She also believes she is running to defeat “Devil worshipers”:

There is not an educated person in Texas who does not cringe at the mention of the Texas State Board of Education. It has become a nest ‘o nuts.

But, maybe, just maybe, the best is yet to come.

Before I start, I’ll tell you a true, honest to goodness story. About 15 years ago I interviewed a Christian Coalition rightwing guy who was running for school board. He proudly announced that there are 17,000 functionate illiterates in our district. I could not help myself. I couldn’t. I looked at him and said, “better make that 17,001.” Needless to say, it was lost on him.

There is woman named Lady Theresa Thombs running for a seat on the State Board of Education. She lives dangerously close to Fort Worth. She is running against one of the finest board members we’ve ever had.

She is a Tea Party member. On her twitter page, she describes herself as “an international evangelist” and real estate agent. However, on her website, she describes herself as “an international child advocate.” Apparently, she has been to Mexico over spring break.

And there’s her website, which has been largely scrubbed.

Thombs’ website made its debut last week.

She wrote that she’s running to fight — her spellings — “adgendas and ideoligies.”

That was right after the part about teaching the basics.

Parents are “criticle,” she wrote, and she’s an “advicate” and “expereinced.”

She summed up her “Mission and Issues” as to “stem the tide of our best and brightest teachers leaving the classroom to pursue other carriers, because they can no longer live with the policies and mandates they no are harmful to their students.”

(Some but not all of the spelling problems have been corrected.)

Her website also said that she was named Dame of Justice by the Sovereign Order of the Knights of Justice, which is kinda a coincidence because they named me Dame of Aqua Net. But, she took down that link. Maybe she sobered up. However, I kinda doubt that because her logo still looks like it says BS for Kids.

It does. Seriously, it does.

I know y’all think we have all the fun in Texas.

We do.
