Westboro Baptist devotee seeks state board of ed seat

THE CAPITAL-JOURNAL

A Topeka man who attends Westboro Baptist Church is running for the Kansas State Board of Education on a platform that includes removing evolution from public school curriculum.

Jack Wu has filed as a Republican with the Secretary of State’s Office to run against Democratic incumbent Carolyn Campbell in the board’s 4th District.

Wu couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Wednesday, but his campaign website states he is a native of California who “moved to Topeka, Kansas after seeing the light of the Westboro Baptist Church.”

The website, www.jpwu.info, appears to be under construction. Under a “Biography” link, the site states that Wu’s mission in running for office is to “make a difference in this evil city of Topeka and this perverse state of Kansas.” It goes on to say that students “don’t need Satanic lies like evolution filling their heads, and if elected to office, Jack would like to purge such lies from the curriculum.”

8. He sounds like a bad B-movie...

One of those kind you'd see on the late show when we used to have late shows...

9. And here I thought that Westboro hated both parties. But, when one of the bigots

has to choose one, naturally he chooses the Republican party. Time to smear the whole party with the likes of this guy! BREAKING : WESTBORO BAPTISTS VOTE REPUBLICAN!!

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT WESTBORO BAPTIST!!

10. They usually register as Democrats

I think he registered as a republican because there's already a Democrat in the race.

11. I remember them registering as Democrats.

Well, we know one race in KS where a Democrat will win. No way anyone in Topeka will ever vote for someone with WBC.
