The Praying Lady strikes again.

The woman who attends every Sarasota Co. FL school board meeting, and signs up to speak during public comments, "prayed" the audience right out of the room--yes, the audience was ejected during public comments after she spoke. Why?--because some people groaned audibly when Praying Lady (PL) prayed that the board member who is gay would "turn from his wicked ways."

And, unlike the Proud Moms for Bigotry gals who have been disruptive during public comments they disagree with, we, the liberal woke leftist heathen commies, peacefully vacated the room when asked. We then stood in the lobby and listened to the rest of the public speakers. We also plotted our next conspiracy to indoctrinate innocent school children and spread our Marxist ideology throughout--no, wait, that part didn't happen. Then we went back in and were nicey-nice for the rest of the meeting.

At least cut off the mic and tell her to take it to her church. Maybe quote Jesus's words on public prayer.

I was always surprised by the glee with which fellow nurses ejected uninvited prayer groups when they'd show up to heal the patients, by praying over them and I'm talking about nurses who were regular churchgoers giving them a none to gentle bum's rush.

You could learn a lot from us.

She's terrified of offending her base by appearing to support the separation of church and state. We the woke have requested politely just what you suggest, but 1st amendment etc. So we have to just restrain ourselves until it's our turn to speak. The PL is our cross to bear, I guess (see what I did there?).
