There will be a new face on the Texas State Board of Education after Brandon Hall, a 27-year-old pastor from Parker County, defeated incumbent Pat Hardy in the District 11 Republican primary.

Hall received 53.24% of votes compared to 46.76% for Hardy. Hall will advance to the general election along with Democrat Rayna Glasser, who ran unopposed in her party’s primary.

Hall ran on a platform of protecting parental rights, preventing the teaching of Critical Race Theory and promoting Christian conservative values in education. He’s also a supporter of Gov. Greg Abbott’s push for voucher-like education savings accounts, which would allow parents to use public tax dollars on private education.

While not opposed to school choice, Hardy took a stance against using public money to pay for private schools.

“Should someone wish to start a school of Satan, and they will, I do not want my tax dollars to pay for that education choice,” Hardy previously told the Star-Telegram.

Great! Hardy is a liberal goon. So glad she went down.

“‘Should someone wish to start a school of Satan, and they will, I do not want my tax dollars to pay for that education choice,’ Hardy previously told the Star-Telegram.”

The joke’s on her. The public schools already ARE schools of Satan.

I was going to ask whether he was an orthodox or progressive pastor, but the article makes it obvious he’s on God’s side.

He's pastor of Life Community Church, if that matters.
