Weep for the children: An evolution-denying Christian extremist who believes Barack Obama once worked as a gay prostitute is poised to join the Texas Board of Education.

Texas State Board of Education candidate Mary Lou Bruner won big on Super Tuesday. The District 9 candidate earned 48 percent of the vote in the three-person race GOP primary, and will face second-place candidate Keven Ellis, who receive just 31 percent of the vote, in a runoff in May. The Republican winner is expected to beat Democratic opponent Amanda Rudolph in the general election.

Bruner, a Republican, and a deranged Christian extremist, believes that baby dinosaurs lived on Noah’s ark, and school shootings are a product of kids learning evolution.

As for President Obama, in a now deleted Facebook post Bruner once wrote:

Obama has a soft spot for homosexuals because of the years he spent as a male prostitute in his twenties. That is how he paid for his drugs. He has admitted he was addicted to drugs when he was young, and he is sympathetic to homosexuals; but he hasn’t come out of the closet about his own homosexual/bisexual background. He hasn’t quite evolved that much!

Having never met a conspiracy theory she didn’t like, previously Bruner has stated that:

“School shootings started after the schools started teaching evolution.”

“Many of the (sexual education) books which teachers read to your small children are not allowed in jails and prisons because of the bad effect the books have on the prisoners. These books stimulate children to experiment with sex.”

“The Democrat Party had JFK killed because the socialists and Communists in the party did not want a conservative president.”

“It is a goal of United Nations’ Agenda 21 and the One World Order to reduce the population of the world by 2/3.”

Bruner also believes that dinosaurs co-existed with humans and, in fact, were on Noah’s Ark:

The dinosaurs on the ark may have been babies and not able to reproduce. It might make sense to take the small dinosaurs onto the ark instead of the ones bigger than a bus.

Bruner, who claims to be a retired teacher who holds a Masters in special education, defended her belief in Biblical creationism and the story of Noah on her Facebook page earlier this week:

To the television reporter who asked me while the camera was rolling if I REALLY believe there was a man named Noah who built an Ark and filled it with pairs of animals, and the entire world was covered with water: THE ANSWER IS STILL “YES, I believe the Holy Bible. I believe there was a Great Flood. How do YOU explain fossils of seashells and other sea animals on tops of mountains all over the world? How do you explain the Grand Canyon? You are very naive if you believe a tiny river carved out the Grand Canyon. I believe it took a lot more water than that to carve out the Grand Canyon and other land and rock formations formed by water erosion. You can call me ignorant or intolerant or whatever you want, but I did not make fun of YOUR religion.

Bruner’s website features a prayer that begins:

Lord, We ask You to show us where we as Christians and as a nation have fallen short of the mark allowing our government leaders to pass evil and ungodly laws which displease God.

Bottom line: Bruner is intellectually incompetent. As such, she is unfit to make any decisions concerning the education of innocent children. And if elected, as always, it will be the children who will suffer.
