15. She kind of undercut herself by referring to herself as a "former Christian."

That confirmed the prejudices of every single zealot in the room that the "others" were the enemies of their holy faith and getting anywhere near any of them would send them to hell. They immediately shut down, bet the rent on that.

Yes, it was a great speech for everybody in attendance who wasn't a zealot, especially by pointing out that preaching from the school board's dais wasn't their job, that education was their job.

Dobson is now 86, both he and FOTF still lumbering along like wounded rhinos, neither as powerful as they once were as the young are deserting the hateful Evangelicals. One hopes that once he kicks the bucket, FOTF will soon follow. They've both done so much damage to Colorado, to the country, to families, and especially to children.
