The Vallejo City Unified School District severed its contract with Boomer Bennett after learning his anti-bullying events masked a secret religious agenda
So, explicitly stating he plans to lie for Jesus. He probably sees it as part of his persecution complex. He has to sneak in because the evil atheistic schools prohibit Christians from being there. Nevermind that a significant percentage of the kids are already Christian. Nevermind that an even higher percentage are fully aware of the Christian message. Nope, gotta sneak in like a spy in enemy territory because the evil atheists want to prohibit Jesus.
About as pathetic as his trying to sneak it in, then ADMITTING that he was trying to sneak it in. It's crap like this that makes me wonder why people haven't gotten wise to the whole Christian proselytism thing.
"A virgin can conceive. A dead body can walk again. Your leprosy can be cured. The blind can see. Nonsense. It's not moral to lie to children. It's not moral to lie to ignorant, uneducated people and tell them that if they only would believe nonsense, they can be saved. It's immoral."
There was Christopher Eric Hitchens ... and then there was everyone else. The man was positively astonishing for his hunger for knowledge and his utter intolerance for bullshit. I am a better atheist for knowing who he was and what he was about.
Also a giant asshole who believed just as you do, that there was him and there was everyone else. Brilliant mind, but the absolute scorn for the people he opposed was disgusting, IMO.
I wish he was around today to use that scorn on these "Crusaders" like Hegseth.
he also trashed the school district for spending tens of thousands of dollars per student “but their reading comprehension skills are dismal [and their] relationship skills are dismal.”
I'm sure "Jesus" would fix that issue, judging from the barely literate goobers that comprise his 'flock."
"That off-campus activity is where we give them Christ and Christ crucified."
That sounds kind of ... gruesome. And not very much fun. You need to step up your marketing game, Boomshakalaka. Have you thought about some arts and crafts, or maybe bingo or bowling night?
I worked for a group in the 90s that had been pulling a scam like this already for 20 years. GWB shut down all assembly programs in Texas for one year, as governor. Then opened up the funding but only to evangelical-aligned companies. As president, faith-based initiatives legalized all of it. I have proof if you're interested. Pepsi was a big sponsor. All a straight fraud - worth mentioning that the only thing evangelicals love more then Jesus and fried food is money.
You mean like NOW, Boomer? You mean like, you can't be upfront and admit that you want to proselytize kids, so you have to put up a facade to disguise that fact. What this tells me, more than anything else, is that Christian proselytizers are at least beginning to recognize that THEIR NOISE IS BECOMING LESS WELCOME to the general public. Still, they feel obliged to continue to push, so they hide their light under a bushel of subterfuge. Except that this time, when he actually came out and SAID it.
Oh, and while we're at it:
𝑇ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒’𝑠 𝑛𝑜 𝐽𝑒𝑠𝑢𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒.
Ummm ... Boomer? Have you checked your local churches lately?
People who see Jesus as the solution to all the world's problems should spend less time reading the Bible, and more time reading history, because history does not support their claim.
Problem is, if they actually READ history, they'd discover that their bible doesn't fit into it, whereupon they would lose their shit, because bible, and because they want their belief to override reality ... which it WON'T.
Christians who walk around with the bible attached to their hands always struck me as the worst Christians I've ever met.
But they don't want the truth, because the truth would require change and these people are afraid of change. They're stuck in some fantasy version of the 50's as some post-war paradise, when for some groups, it was hell.
Funny that you say that. As I mentioned in a previous blog, I watched a performance of Tartuffe this past Sunday, and when the title character made his entrance, one guess what was in his right hand! [chuckle!]
I should mention that Tom Ford ALSO had the southern preacher twang down to a science!
Cloak and dagger sounds like cold war rhetoric. These proselytizing fools sure do love their jingoistic "us vs them" metaphors.
If we could actually get them to sit down and talk with us they might understand that we are not their enemy. We don't want to do to them what they have done to us for centuries. We have compassion. But they won't listen.
And we'd still wind up being their enemy, because they want to have free reign in the public square, yet they're not allowed to. This is made worse because there are those in authority who aren't into the whole State / Church separation thing and have allowed a break in that wall here and there.
And it is that inconsistency that has really cost us.
Grooming is baked into Christianity. Just believe the fairytales I tell you little sinners or you will burn in hell for all eternity!!!! 🔥☠️ Oh and Jesus loves you! 🙏🕊️🤪
Am I, the completely STUPID one or naw.....So, you allow ex inmates.....Oops, excuse me, EX CONVICTS, access to school aged children, for anti bullying rallies, to, TEACH them about making bad decisions regarding life choices....THIS IS INSANE....Who exactly made the decision to hire him ?
Under the right circumstances, this can be really beneficial. I helped supervise a group of disadvantaged, disaffected students (those “at risk of offending”) for a weekly workshop with an ex-offender who visited the school (13-16yo students). He talked to them about the realities of life in prison (with actual prison clothes, blanket, etc as props), the additional difficulties of getting a job afterwards, the stigmatisation of a criminal record, etc. The harsh truths came a bit late for a few of them, but seemed to be a wake up call for others.
Yes, you DO have to be careful who is around students under your care, but between CAREFUL vetting and background checks AND STAFF SUPERVISION DURING SESSIONS, it can be a useful experience for some kids to hear from people who have been there, have had childhoods similar to them, or adulthoods similar to their family members, and who are determined to break the cycle for the next generation. (I bet you can guess what I think was missing from this California case 😉)
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." And yet local, state, and federal legislative bodies have made all sorts of laws allowing religion in general and Christianity in particular into governmental structure. From the time the first hole was poked into the wall separating Church and State, crap like what Boomer pulled here has been going on, to the point where one questions if the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment actually MEANS ANYTHING.
I hate to introduce the idea of an absolute, because absolutes tend to be RIGID, but State / Church separation is either an inarguably inviolable principle, or we get stuck with situations like the one described in this post.
Boomer thought he could get away with his scheme because so many others had before him.
Bennett has praised Trump? Does he not know how the racist pig feels about non-whites?
Bennett is not only a liar, he's stupid.
Some of Trump's best friends are black.
Nothing says love like being an apostle of Donald Trump.
Especially now with Trump declaring the xtian god to be on his side in the Iran debacle.
Like the nazis.
Gott mit uns
Another Black for Trump! That makes 14.
A grifter has got to grift!
If you have to disguise your true intentions, maybe you need to ask yourself whether you're doing the right thing.
Oh, they absolutely believe they're doing the right thing, and it's okay to hide their intentions if they get the outcome they're hoping for.
Yeah, you know ... the whole ends and means thing ... AGAIN!
Didn't Jesus say "Lie if you have to, I want more followers!!"
Oh wait, that was Trump.

Again and again, xtians prove that they are the true groomers of children.
Bennett gets Hitchslapped from the grave:

As they should. Now they need to step up their vetting game to screen out the Trojan proselytizers better.
They knew it was wrong but felt their religion took priority over the Constitution.
OT:
IL Trump Merch Store Closes
https://www.joemygod.com/2026/04/il-trump-merch-store-closes-owner-blames-iran-war/
Ha Ha! And fuck your feelings, MAGAT loser!
It’s nonsense, excuse making. No store closes after a month.he was already in trouble, and looking for something, anything, to explain it.
They opened the store in 2025 and sold Trump 2024 merch, along with a lot of other worthless shit. IN CHICAGO.
These people are as sharp as Trump when it comes to failing businesses!
Trump Truth Store. Talk about false advertising and deceptive business practices.
IOW, Trump through and through.
I hope the owner is stuck with all that useless junk.
Like Lindell is stuck with all those unsold pillows.

Seems like Boomer's plan went BOOM.

Problem is, if they actually READ history, they'd discover that their bible doesn't fit into it, whereupon they would lose their shit, because bible, and because they want their belief to override reality ... which it WON'T.
Just like science. If science contradicts the magic book, they reject the science.
Which floors me because they are SO DEPENDENT on the science they deny, from the car they ride in to the phone in their pocket.
My brother has a Masters in Chemistry and a Masters in Theology.
There are tons of scientists who are also Christians and manage quite well.
Christians who walk around with the bible attached to their hands always struck me as the worst Christians I've ever met.
But they don't want the truth, because the truth would require change and these people are afraid of change. They're stuck in some fantasy version of the 50's as some post-war paradise, when for some groups, it was hell.

It's from the Holy Book of Spy vs Spy.
I see Cloak and Dagger and I automatically think of the Marvel superhero duo.
Loved it in Mad magazine!
OF COURSE IT IS. Mad Magazine was the best.
And we'd still wind up being their enemy, because they want to have free reign in the public square, yet they're not allowed to. This is made worse because there are those in authority who aren't into the whole State / Church separation thing and have allowed a break in that wall here and there.

Staff supervision. And of course thorough vetting.
Further Thought:
