Once again, a California school board member has been caught saying something outrageous on camera without realizing the event was public. The last time something like this happened was less than a week ago.
During an argument over reopening schools in La Mesa, California, the member compared it to slavery and white supremacy. Total lunacy.
Matt Vespa writes at Townhall:
We Have Another School Board Hot Mic Fiasco. Want to Guess What Was Said? Hint: It’s Full-Blown Woke.It happened again. Granted, this example has a dash more of woke salt in it, but it’s still another school board that’s about to deal with a mic fiasco. It’s also a boomer moment as these clowns didn’t know that their video call was being broadcast publicly.Chardá Bell-Fontenot, the vice president of the La Mesa-Spring Valley School Board outside of San Diego, said that reopening schools was akin to slavery and an exercise in white supremacy. The Daily Caller’s Jorge Ventura has the clips and notes that Ms. Bell-Fontenot seems unaware that everything she is saying could be viewed by the general public.

La Mesa school board member facing criticism for comments made at meetingA La Mesa-Spring Valley school board member is facing criticism for comments she made at a board meeting Tuesday night. While discussing an upcoming vote on the district’s reopening plan trustee, Charda Bell-Fontenot, made comments about white supremacy and racism.That board member is a Black woman, as well as the board’s vice president. The comments were made over the course of several minutes. It started off when other board members said they needed to vote on a return to school date.Bell-Fontenot followed up asking several questions, saying they needed more information and that she didn’t feel like she had to vote on the topic that night. In recorded video from the meeting, Bell-Fontenot’s video is off, but you can hear her voice as she reacts to other members.“I know what we are doing is wrong. That seems like a very white supremacy ideology to conform…privilege you guys….check it……I’m not gonna force anyone to do what they don’t wanna do. That’s what slavery is. I’m not gonna be a part of it,” Bell-Fontenot said.

In this case, it almost seems like the board member was just randomly throwing in these words because she thought of them as power words. They are essentially “shut up and listen to me” comments.
