Brita Butler-Wall

Help!

It looks like Brita Butler-Wall, barking lunatic candidate for Seattle School Board, has better than even odds of winning her race. In the September primary, Butler-Wall beat the incumbent board president Nancy Waldman by a large margin and even won the most votes of any candidate in any school board primary race. It looks like she may beat Waldman in Tuesday's general election. The Seattle Times reports that

it's one of the most expensive school-board races in Washington. Butler-Wall has raised $34,000 in campaign cash, nearly three times as much as Waldman.

All I can say is "Oy vay". Brita Butler-Wall is a genuine nutcase and is likely to do a great deal of damage to the Seattle schools.

As I've written earlier, Brita Butler-Wall is best known for her campaign to rid the schools of sweetened beverages, including Coca-Cola and chocolate milk.

Among Brita Butler-Wall's other insane and destructive campaign proposals are:
1) She wants to teach black kids to use "Ebonics"

A former linguistics professor, [Butler-Wall] said students who speak non-standard English should be taught in their vernacular.

2) She would be happy both to defund the schools and to avoid improving them:

she suggests the district might consider refusing federal money as a way to circumvent the requirements of No Child Left Behind

Naturally, Brita Butler-Wall has been endorsed by all the clueless lunatic lefties in Seattle, including the Green Party of Seattle, Seattle Post-Intelligencer and both weekly newspapers.

I'll post a few more items about Brita Butler-Wall between now and the election. The good people of Seattle need your help to save our schools from Brita Butler-Wall. If you live in Seattle, please be sure to vote for Nancy Waldman. If you don't live in Seattle but know someone who does, please send them a link to this web page.
