Dude sent 93 pages of emails. Launch him into the sun.
We need to find out what churches folks like this are being indoctrinated in and forcibly shut them down.
At the very least, tax those churches. Churches today are political. Not all of them, but a lot of them. That means they do not qualify for tax exempt status. Of course, any politician is terrified of going against the extremely vocal evangelical minority, so nothing will be done about it.
It's a large enough voting block of people wanting to turn back the clock on the US (in the worst way possible) to tempt anyone without morals
"Portillo and another administrator met with Vassar on Oct. 30 to discuss his mental health, along with school board matters. After leaving, he sent them emails with a total of 93 pages of comments, some of them profane."
Ah yes. That'll definitely prove you are mentally stable.

I love an article where none of the handful of geographic clues mean anything to me. These sound like names in a fictional universe. Without just googling, I'm guessing Washington state.
Edit: Ahhhhh, California. "Modesto" should have been my strongest clue.
read in Revelations
They didn't have the reading comprehension to know it's "Revelation", as in "the Revelation of/to John", so....
Imagine thinking christian terrorists read the bible. No, they just find an angry enough loud person to read the violent parts out loud to them.
Undergoing mental evaluation. Yeah, probably a good idea to start there.
It should be illegal for conservatives to be employed in positions overseeing children in any way.
Conservatives are notorious for being opposed to science and education. They are infamous for racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny, bigotry, sexual assault of adults and sexual assault of children.
We should teach children why it is dangerous and immoral to keep company with conservatives. Never let your child be alone with a conservative. Never.
Time for the guys with that long white jacket. This guy needs some real help asap, but needs to be separated from humanity for safety reasons until he is safe to come back.
I really hope this guy gets a lot of serious mental help. And also has his guns taken away. And never works around children again.
Good, another John Smith.
Save the Children! By killing them?
Probably carries a copy of Catch in the Rye around with him.
Vassar was appointed to a vacancy on the three-member board in 2015 and won elections in 2016 and 2022.
So this guy wasn't even elected. Someone just put this obviously crazy person in a position of power. God bless America.
He won two elections, as noted in the bit you quoted, in 2016 and 2022, after initially being appointed
Might have been running unopposed. That's pretty common with school boards.
Even if he was opposed incumbency bias is really strong, especially with smaller boards
