The View: Parents at School Board Meetings Are Same as Buffalo Shooter

May 17th, 2022 12:59 PM

Are you a parent that has kids in school and you’re concerned about what they’re learning and attend school board meetings? Well, according to the clucking coven over on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, you’re exactly like the mass shooter who drove 200 miles to target black Americans in a shooting rampage that killed 10 people. And the cast (and the left) wants to be the ones teaching your kids because you can’t be trusted at home.

In the midst of them spewing nonsense about the right being made up of just a bunch of extremists, co-host and supposed lawyer Sunny Hostin flatly equated the parents attending school board meetings with the mass shooter:

Because getting back to what happened in Buffalo you've got an 18-year-old kid who drives 200 miles to kill black people with a single vision to kill black people. And now we have parents storming school boards and saying, “we don't want the talk about race relations, we don’t want to talk about anti-racism.”

She accused those parents of spawning racist killers, demanding to know, “Well, what are you teaching your kids at home then?! What's going on in your homes?! What are you talking about in your home?!”

 

 

Denouncing the opposition to the racism of Critical Race Theory, Hostin accused parents of “not teaching them [their children] the right things[.]” “[I]f you're not talking about racism, if you're not talking about the systemic problems that are happening, let us teach them about it,” she angrily shouted.

Later, co-host Sara Haines falsely claimed leftist politics was the favored direction of the country and claimed “gerrymandering” from the Republicans was the reason their vision was not being fulfilled. “The system is rigged,” Joy Behar proclaimed, freely saying what people with opposing political beliefs get in trouble for.

Elaborating, Behar declared “the electoral college is a rigged idea.” In agreement, Hostin jumped in to claim it was also “based in slavery.” This sparked a back and forth where Hostin flaunted her bellicose ignorance on the subject:

HAINES: I understand the spirit of why they did the electoral college.

HOSTIN: Well, the spirit of electoral college is that it was found in slavery.

HAINES: It also founded with less rural areas having a voice in national elections.

HOSTIN: Because the less rural areas owned a lot of slaves and they wanted their slaves to count.

HAINES: But they didn’t have power. You're proving my point…

“Here's the real truth about it, it doesn't work. It doesn't work now anymore,” Whoopi Goldberg declared, trying to get them to stop.

Earlier, Goldberg shared a relevant nugget of wisdom, that sometimes “people just want to be bitchy about stuff. They just want to be bitchy.” And with ZERO self-awareness, she added: “And I have to stop asking these dumb questions about why stupidity rises to the top and all the mediocracy rises to the top when really smart thinking seems to be struggling to get up there.”

Whoopi, you mean like claiming “the Holocaust isn’t about race” or anything else said on this show?

This attack against parents concerned with what’s being taught in school was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Ensure and Olay. Their contact information is linked.

SUNNY HOSTIN: But I will say this -- I wouldn't have a problem with not talking about Tucker Carlson if we talked about race in our schools, if we talk about race within our families. Because getting back to what happened in Buffalo you've got an 18-year-old kid who drives 200 miles to kill black people with a single vision to kill black people. And now we have parents storming school boards and saying, “we don't want the talk about race relations, we don’t want to talk about anti-racism.”

Well, what are you teaching your kids at home then?! What's going on in your homes?! What are you talking about in your home?!

So obviously, CRT was never the problem. It's WRT, it’s white replacement theory is the problem. So, if you don't want your kids to feel like oppressors, or you don't want your kids to feel bad, what are you teaching them? If you're not teaching them the right things, if you're not talking about racism, if you're not talking about the systemic problems that are happening, let us teach them about it.

Because I have to teach my kids that when they go shopping at a Tops supermarket, they may get murdered just because of the color of their skin, so you need to teach your kids about what's happening in this world.

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Look, I realize, people just want to be bitchy about stuff. They just want to be bitchy. And I have to stop asking these dumb questions about why stupidity rises to the top and all the mediocracy rises to the top, when really smart thinking seems to be struggling to get up there.

SARA HAINES: The interesting part is, we already live in a country where the popular vote supports left-leaning issues. It's the electoral college and a lot those protections and on the local level, the gerrymandering, the redistricting. So, they're manipulating who can vote and how they can vote—

GOLDBERG: Because they’re scared.

HAINES -- it's interesting how they'll keep --

JOY BEHAR: The system is rigged!

HAINES: I don’t believe the system --

BEHAR: The electoral college is a rigged idea.

HAINES: I understand the spirit of it--

HOSTIN: And it’s based in slavery.

BEHAR: It’s based in slavery.

HAINES: Well, it’s also base on the fact that in places where I come from, in the middle of the country, we don't have the population of people. Are we saying that a vote from an Iowan or a less populous state should not have its input in national elections? I understand the spirit of it.

BEHAR: One vote for each person.

HAINES: Right. But, that's saying –

HOSTIN: It should be one vote for each person, shouldn't it? It should be one vote for each person.

HAINES: I understand the spirit of why they did the electoral college.

HOSTIN: Well, the spirit of electoral college is that it was found in slavery.

HAINES: It also founded with less rural areas having a voice in national elections.

HOSTIN: Because the less rural areas owned a lot of slaves and they wanted their slaves to count.

HAINES: But they didn’t have power. You're proving my point; the rural vote didn't help.

GOLDBERG: Here's the real truth about it, it doesn't work. It doesn't work now anymore.
