OH-2: Crazy Jean Schmidt Is BACK! Talks Abortion To 1st Graders
H/T to Anthony at Ohio Daily and commenter “Muffet”
It seems the insane “Mean Jean” Schmidt we all know and love is back. It seems someone decided it was a good idea to let Jean Schmidt speak to school children, and she used at least part of that time to preach about abortion.
Below is a portion of a letter the school sent home to parents from WLWT:
"Unexpectedly, towards the end of her address, Congresswoman Schmidt brought up the topic of abortion, and I am writing you to make you aware of this. Your children may come home with questions, especially if this is a topic that has not been broached in your home. I do not recall the exact words she used, but she paused towards the end of her speech and stated that this would be the only time when she would be ‘political’ in her address. She defined abortion as the taking of a child’s life in the mother’s womb. She indicated that abortion involves the killing of a child before it is born. She was not graphic or any more detailed in this regard. Later, when a child asked about it, she indicated that an abortion is something that a doctor does when a mother requests this. It was not a particularly long segment of her address (1½ minutes or so), and these words may not match the exact words she used, but this description does, I believe, express what your child heard. Her point was to address the increase of governmental activity in the abortion issue and her political resolve to fight against this."
Not only did she discuss abortion with kids so young they still believe they were delivered by a stork, she knowingly and admittedly did it in a political manner.




The only account I've seen that mentioned Schmidt responding to a question came from her staff, so I'm taking that with a grain of salt.
And if an elected official was asked about abortion, why did she answer it in such a setting? It should have been pretty easy to dodge such a question like she apparently did the second time.
Even leaving abortion out of it completely, how appropriate is it for an elected official visiting a school to get political?
