Remember the Reagan Years. They were some good times. Republican tried to appoint fellow Republicans to make a difference. Lynne Cheney was appointed chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The left went crazy. She wanted the endowment not to focus on politicallly correct junk.
California has a California Council for the Humanities. Their mission is much different. They want to "foster understanding" and "Breakdown barriers". in other words: Dont waste time on English, philosophy, language, art and literature we got to connect people and make everything inclusive.
Since that’s the mission maybe the Governor’s appointment makes sense. He announce that he was appointing Democrat Curtis Shepard as a board member. Mr. Shepard who I think I met one at UCLA, was a writer for the The Parent ‘Hood TV series.
But most likely he was appointed because of these parts of his bio.
"He currently serves as director of government relations for the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center"… Shepard previously … director of the Campus Organizing Project for the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force."
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
No wonder the GOP killed their church outreach program
