Our far-right, tea party backed Jeffco school board majority is at it again, causing both Republicans and Democrats here in Lakewood to cringe. Here's a sampling of the latest headlines, along with links:
From Westword: Jeffco School Board's Julie Williams apologizes for posting anti-LGBT link
From Chalkbeat: Jeffco board member apologizes for sharing link to hate group on Facebook
9News: Jeffco school board member explains Facebook post
Click the links and read about Ms. Williams' "apology," if you're so inclined.
Meanwhile, the best response so far has come from Michele Patterson, President of the Jeffco PTA, who tweeted: "You only see bigoted posts in your FB feed if you're liking hateful, bigoted FB pages in the first place."

Hi Ichy, I have a couple Belmar questions, hope it's ok to ask you here.
ReplyDelete1. What is that old Johnny Carino's going to be? I noticed they were doing construction on it lately.
2. What are those "propellers" on top of the parking lot lamps at DSW/Hobby Lobby? Are they alternate power sources or just decorations?
The former Johnny Carino's is going to be an International House of Pancakes. Kind of "meh" in my opinion.
DeleteThe propellers are for wind power.
Cheers!
Also! What happened to our Farmer's market? Is Belmar still having one? Or has it been moved to farther down the street to Mile Hi Church?!? If we lost our market that is so totally lame!
ReplyDeleteLast summer the Farmer's Market moved to the Best Buy parking lot. I'm out of town right now, so I haven't been around to see if it's back again this year. Anyone want to chime in?
