Since I wrote about the ridiculous levy request from Lakota schools to build a bunch of new schools while tearing down the old ones, to the cost of 500 million dollars, people have been suggesting to me that maybe I was being too hard on the perpetrators, the Lakota school board by referring to them as pigs, that they were no better than swine. However, I think that is the polite word for them, and the proper way to say it. People who tend to have moral bankruptcy, as a group, tend to think that cosmetic improvements will hide the horrendous decisions they make in their lives, which often end up costing a lot of money. This is precisely why Democrats, when elected, tend to run their communities into the ground. And yes, all these people on the Lakota school board are Democrats. It will be a lot better for people in the future when school board people have to run through the filter of a political party, so people know who they are voting for. However, they currently hide behind a façade of neutrality. Four out of five of the Lakota school board members are very liberal, and they spend money the way that liberals always do. But that’s not the worst of it. Now, the fifth school board member, Isaac Adi, I haven’t been too crazy about him, even though he’s considered a Republican. What he did to Darbi Boddy was unforgivable. But he and I talked for a long time in Senator Lang’s office, and we can at least work together. So I’m not surprised that he voted no on this latest Lakota boondoggle. However, referring to what they want to do as putting lipstick on a pig, because the pig will still be a pig, is the correct way to describe this situation.
And I wish them luck; I hope they can find voters for their tax increase as effectively as they find their clothes after a night of hard drinking at education conferences. Everyone knows the stories; there is nothing secret about it. These aren’t very high-quality people, and that showed itself during the last school superintendent drama, where he got caught offering his wife on Craigslist while they were traveling out of town to music concerts, for group sex parties. That superintendent had to resign because the community was upset about it, and this school board could only look at those of us who were upset about it and declare that we should have kept it all a secret, so people never found out, for the good of the children, of course. We went through a lot of drama over that issue because, essentially, the superintendent and his wife talked about sexual fantasies with students who went to Lakota, where he was supposed to be in charge, and that is a major no-no. And I wouldn’t say that we were getting all this information second-hand through rumors, but from the ex-wife herself. It was never a question as to whether her husband, the Lakota superintendent, had an overly sexualized lifestyle. He did. It was whether or not he was allowed to have such a private life as a public figure. Like a lot of really radically liberal people, he thought he could be one thing in public and be something completely different in private, but that’s not how things cook in the kitchen. People in leadership roles are judged based on the entirety of their lives, and even if you are talking about little kids as sexual objects in just “pillow talk,” it still shows intent.
I did talk to prosecutors about the Lakota case and why there was reluctance to go after him for child endangerment, because the ex-wife was reliable testimony, and there was a police report where he admitted it. So it was pretty clear-cut. And the answer I got would melt your face with anger. Because the truth is, we have a very pornographic society, and this Lakota administrator isn’t the only one doing this kind of stuff. It’s a common behavior, the overly sexual lives of people who have too much personal income, so that they can indulge in porn addictions. And Lakota schools, as do most schools with high population densities, have a lot of bored employees who think too much about sex. And it’s just a dangerous combination to put coming-of-age kids in passive roles with adults thinking way too much about sex. As it turned out, nobody cared about the former Lakota school superintendent because most people didn’t see that he was doing anything wrong. Because they were either doing it too, or they were thinking about it. I have never been a big fan of public schools, but after the Lakota school superintendent case and the behavior of this same school board, which tried to cover it all up as best they could, I’m a hard no on anything they propose. We can’t trust anything they say. At best, building new schools for these types of people is just putting lipstick on a pig, and in many cases, that pig is already at the slaughterhouse with a severed head, because of the school choice expansion that came out of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. These same people want to invest this much money in an education system that will have to undergo significant changes in the coming years.
But people will say that all the buildings they want to tear down are old and outdated. For Lakota to recruit the right kind of future employees, they need better buildings that can accommodate comfortable class sizes. If Lakota wants to have the best employees, we must provide better buildings for them to work in. Well, that is the lipstick on the pig talking. They have no idea what makes education work with kids. They are teaching kids all the wrong things for a society with changing priorities, and they are way behind the curve, out of touch at best. On a good day, they are teaching progressive social values, such as transgender bathrooms, and the 1619 Project, which is all over their website. That isn’t the kind of thing a community that voted for President Trump by overwhelming margins wants its children learning. The world is changing in ways they don’t like, and now they want to spend half a billion dollars to counteract it. They are out of their minds. And at the core of it, knowing many of the school board members personally, I wouldn’t trust a word they said if they were giving me directions to a highway while standing on the on-ramp. How can we believe them when they say that we need to spend all this money on new schools when they have spent years screwing up the old schools? I think it is very polite to refer to them as swine, so the lipstick on a pig metaphor is the right one for people of such low quality. They think that some fresh paint and new plaster will present them in a more favorable light to the public. But to accomplish that, a billion dollars wouldn’t be enough. Because a pig is still a pig, no matter how much lipstick you put on it.
