Call Qaida
All because of personal friendship with the Head Karen of the Westside, Kendal Jessup.
And make no mistake about it - there is no greater threat to public health to the average El Pasoan than the members of Call Qaida.
I'll be a honest with you all, I'm even more heated about these anti-masker/anti-vaxers because my kid ended up with COVID because she was sent back to class and has to sit in the same classrooms as students who's parents are the crazies.
You guys read this blog because I tell it like it is - so here is the truth about Daniel Call. He killed a once-bright political career by aligning himself with the Ding Dongs. He will never be elected to anything again. He will never rise above his current position on the board. He will never have the respect and credibility among his colleagues on his board to accomplish anything of substance for his community.
The Ding Dongs aren't even a majority of residents in the Coronado area that Call represents - despite what Call will tell people - much less even close to a majority of the constituents in EPISD.
But what Jessup and the other Ding Dongs don't understand is a basic concept of organizing. If you aren't organized from a position of POWER, then you aren't going to win.
And you aren't organized from a position of power - until you have a majority on the school board. Right now, they have one reliable vote. Jessup and the other white, wealthy, Karens of the Westside need to understand that berating board members and quoting the Bible isn't going to move any board members when you haven't demonstrated the ability to actually win an election.
They aren't the reason any school board member won their seat - not even Daniel Call.
That is an important point to remember. They have had no win in a school board election - ever. Jessup has be an abject failure in every single election she's been a part of. Those are facts, not an opinion.
Why is that important to mention?
Because the anti-masker/anti-vaxer crazies are Trump supporters that have a track record of failure because they don't represent the values of our community. And the same group has the audacity to make the most empty threat in local politics - a recall.
The crazies threatened to recall EPISD Board President Al Velarde at the last meeting where they made a scene about not being allowed in the meeting because they weren't wearing masks.
The truth is very apparent - the bulk of their electorate strength is among wealthy white Karens. They don't even have a majority in that district, much less any other.
No amount of their insults and bible versus quoted during public comment is going to change anyone's mind. And for a group of people that claim to hate theocratic states, there are a lot of Y'all Qaida spending a lot of time trying to blend religion and school board policy.
Sorry, I went off on a tangent for a second. Lets get back to the fact that a recall is an empty threat - and even more so coming from the Kendall Qaida or the Call Qaida.
I can't remember the last time any recall attempt was ever successful in El Paso, and certainly not at the school board level.
Its time for the EPISD Board of Trustees to hold Call Qaida accountable. Its time for them to get him to stop providing them a platform.
And its time for all the Karens that don't want their kids to wear a mask or get a vaccine to sit in classrooms with kids with piojos. If you people don't want your kids at least 6 feet away from people in class without a mask, then your kid should sit next to the kids with piojos, and have them drink cattle dewormer to protect them from head lice.
If you won't put your kids next to kids with head lice, but you're good with sending them to school with no mask then you are the fucking problem.
I said, what I said.
