Beth Bourne for DJUSD *
Anti-trans, pro-turning Davis children into rage bait content
This is Beth Bourne. She wants a seat on the DJUSD school board to protect children from pronouns, rainbows, and the alarming possibility that someone with genitals she hasn’t inspected might be pooping in a unisex bathroom.
As chair of Yolo County Moms for Liberty, Beth has attended nearly 50 school board meetings, a record of civic engagement matched only by the number of people who have wished she'd stop. She believes in transparency, which she has demonstrated to the board in a bikini.
While she has spent years addressing the school board from the public comment microphone, a timer has performed the useful civic function of eventually making her stop. She’s running for a seat on the board itself in hopes of removing this obstacle.
A natural unifier, Beth has brought teachers together like no candidate before her. When she rose to speak at a recent board meeting, the educators stood up in a show of solidarity against her, and the whole room got to enjoy the sight of them leaving.
When it comes to working with students, Beth is such a devoted listener that she takes the show on the road, waiting outside schools to ask teenagers what genitals they have and whether they're worried about their losing their sexual function. She has never let a teenager's visible discomfort get between her and a follow-up question.
Beth has been called divisive, disruptive, and, by her own account, a victim. She'd like her time back.
Meet Beth
The candidate who’s always thinking about your kid's genitals
Every candidate has an issue. For some it's arts funding, for some it's zoning. For Beth Bourne, it's your children's genitals. She's got a plan for them, a position on them, and a strong feeling about what they should look like. And she’s not afraid to film them.
Ask about class sizes and she'll bring it back to genitals. School budgets? Genitals. Attendance? Genitals.
Beth has cornered children outside of schools, on sidewalks, and in parks with a camera, and demanded to know what genitals they have.
She’s done all of this unpaid, uninvited, and unsupervised. All she's missing is a lanyard. A board seat means an office, a district email address, and a standing reason to be in every school bathroom and locker room in Davis; no more waiting on the sidewalk, just the other side of school property. Other candidates promise to show up. Beth is already there, and she's recording. Voters looking for someone who never stops asking will find that she stands, loudly, on your kid's genitals.
Beth is the only person on the ballot who isn’t afraid to ask children about their private parts. Even when they tell her to stop.
Beth’s Platform
Prepare students for the real world
Beth’s rage-bait content will introduce your child to a hostile national audience. She’ll continue working with the City of Davis and the Davis Police Department to help students understand that they are valued in the abstract, while demonstrating exactly how many adults can condemn bullying without inconveniencing the bully. By graduation, every DJUSD child will understand that “Hate Has No Home Here” is a nice thing to put on a yard sign, but that it’s not a promise of actual protection.
Transparency
It’s the only “trans” Beth Bourne supports. Having already stripped to a bikini at the board podium, Beth promises to bring the same commitment to disclosure to elected office. While other candidates conceal themselves behind budgets, qualifications, and clothing, Beth is prepared to show voters considerably more than they requested. Her administration will maintain a clear standard for what belongs in a school board meeting: a passage from a library book may be inappropriate, but a swimsuit presentation by the woman objecting to it is civic engagement.
Youth literacy
Beth will tackle the district’s reading challenges by reducing the number of things available to read. Under her leadership, every student will have the opportunity to fall in love with a book she has approved for someone else’s child. Librarians will spend less time recommending literature and more time defending their employment. And parents struggling to get their teenagers interested in reading can thank Beth for helpfully publishing a list of the good stuff.
Protect the First Amendment
Beth will teach students that freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy, which is why she must personally supervise and approve of who gets any. Her objections will be protected speech. Your objections will be evidence that schools have indoctrinated you. Students will learn to distinguish censorship, which happens when Beth is told “Stop filming my kids” from parental rights, which protect your authority over your child until it interferes with her social media content schedule. Under her leadership, the First Amendment will remain fully operational for its sole intended beneficiary: Beth.
Personal responsibility
Beth will teach students to take responsibility for their actions, with a useful exception for anything that happens after she posts her own content. Attention is evidence of her influence. Consequences are apparently evidence that other people exist. Bomb threats following the library controversy? Vandalism reported after the drugstore confrontation? These are, of course, other people’s actions. Beth’s contribution ends at publicity, an arrangement under which she gets to be a powerful national voice and a person whose words couldn’t possibly affect anything.
