Girl Goofus

In the list of conservative pundits who really hit their stride, by which I mean showed their asses, during the pandemic, one Bethany Mandel is of particular note. I had never heard of her until she wrote an utterly sociopathic tweet last year, in the early stages of the crisis. Yeah, good times! I mean, fuck those immunocompromised weenies, I want a zoo story of my own! I had blissfully forgotten about BM until this week, when she showed her ass again, writing a scathing letter to the editors of Highlights for Children magazine for depictions of people wearing masks:

I DEMAND NORMAL CONDITIONS FOR MY CHILDREN I shout as I type a unabomber letter to highlights magazine and post it online pic.twitter.com/HzuyyQakVR

Determined to be social media's Jackass (or is that Jillass) of the week, Mandel kept on acting the Goofus and demonstrating that she has the memory of a gnat. Not even a week after a school shooting, this idiot tweeted this out:

What I find truly evil about all of the jokes embittered millennials make whenever a parent objects to the dystopia our kids are being raised with is they didn’t have to grow up with any of this. They had stable school scheduled and learned to talk and read without masks.

The Millennials grew up in an era of active shooter drills in schoool, an era of proposals to provide bullet-resistant backpacks because legislators don't have the guts to get a handle on gun violence in these here United States. Thankfully, she's been taken to the woodshed in the responses. 

What goofery will this girl Goofus come up with next? 'Highlights' should draw a special edition cartoon featuring her and her COVID derangement.
