Forsyth County Georgia Board of Education - Jere Krischel - 11/15/2022

As Thanksgiving season comes upon us, I'd like to focus on gratitude.

I'm thankful for the Board, and their work in combating the sexualization of our children, and their clear understanding that parents have an inalienable right to protect their children.

I'm thankful for the election victories of Wes McCall and Mike Valdes to the Board of Education, and I'm thankful that our Georgia elections were less corrupt than those in Arizona, and that our Forsyth County elections were less corrupt than those in Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb.

I'm thankful that none of my children ever did crack cocaine with hookers, while being protected by the Secret Service, or sold political favors to China and Ukraine, or lost three laptops with homemade porn on them.

I'm thankful to live in a free state, in a free county, in a free city, which does not hold to old racist ideals, and truly believes that all lives matter. I'm thankful for our county sheriff deputies, and all their work, to protect our freedoms, and to hold criminals accountable.

I'm thankful for the 3 Supreme Court justices, appointed by the first president to enter office in support of gay marriage, Donald J. Trump. I'm thankful for the question of abortion being handed back to the states, and I'm thankful for the preservation of the 2nd amendment, including constitutional carry legislation in Georgia. And I'm anticipating being thankful for the end, of the abjectly anti-asian, and racist policies, of affirmative action in college admissions.

I'm thankful that my family has been able to escape the People's Republic of California, and the terrible oppression that continues there to this day. I'm thankful to live in a place that isn't a wretched hive of scum and villainy called "Los Angeles", in a place that actually has green trees, fluffy clouds, and real seasons.

I'm thankful that my family wasn't forced to take an experimental vaccine with dangerous side effects, and that our schools were some of the first to re-open in the country, and some of the first to eliminate mandatory masking requirements that have interrupted academic growth in states that abused their citizens.

I'm thankful for all those friends and families I have met in Georgia, and who have made me, and my family feel welcome. I'm thankful for the buddies, who have taught me how to use climbing tree stands, grow my own ghost peppers, drive offroad 4 wheelers, reload ammo, and actually use the tow hitch on my truck.

I'm also thankful for all of the Board of Education employees, here in this office, and out in our community, who clearly understand the importance of teaching our children traditions of personal responsibility, individual accountability, persistence, and resilience.

And last, but not least, I'm thankful for those who have disagreed with me, and who come to speak each and every board meeting, representing opinions I'm still eager to understand more fully.

And so on that note, thank you very much for your time, and again, I'd love to have lunch with anyone who disagrees with me.
