    The TV thing has been resolved:

    But the investigators confirmed that the complaint was true; a TV in the office did in fact show the images in question, including the “chiropractic table.” The naked women did not come from anyone’s secret stash of pornography, however; they came from Jackie Chan’s 1985 film The Protector.

    But why was The Protector showing on a TV in a state office building at all? Investigators came to find out that the Samsung smart TV in question—recently installed in the office—had been set up in such a way that it defaulted to showing Samsung TV Plus Channel 1204, the “Movie Hub Action.” (You can see Samsung’s full list of TV Plus streaming channels here.) And at the time of the state board meeting, Movie Hub Action was streaming The Protector. How and why the TV was turned on or switched to this streaming channel isn’t clear, but the whole thing appears to be an absolutely bizarre accident.

      If this is the case then why’d he claim that it was a “desperate lie” that a nude woman appeared on his TV? This seems fishy. Ive had multiple Samsung TVs over the years and none of them have ever defaulted to random channel 1204 whenever the TV was turned on.

        MAGA people aren’t exactly known for reacting reasonably.

        My guess is, whatever the reason, it’s the real reason he is leaving. He went as far as to accuse his accusers of colluding with the governor’s office to smear him.

      I choose to believe that the superintendent in question was showing pornography to minors.

      He was grooming them as part of their indoctrination into the fundamentalist Christian sect that he founded.

      His ultimate goal is to create a harem of preteen girls who will worship him as a living God, and clean houses on the side, giving him all the proceeds.

      Now, you may ask me for evidence to back up those claims, and my response is…Nah, that shit don’t matter anymore.
