Kara Bell Wiki – Kara Bell Biography
Kara Bell was born in Ohio and raised in California, according to her campaign website for Lake Travis ISD. She claims to have moved to Texas “in search of more conservative values.” Bell has a major in psychology from Arizona State University and she reportedly works with children. It is unclear where exactly she works, as Bell appears to have deleted her Facebook account. Her tweets are also set to private, so we couldn’t learn more about her.
However, Bell has been named in the media numerous times. She lost the 2021 school board election, garnering just 25.73% of the vote for incumbent Lauren White. However, her career was not without controversy. On April 27, The Daily Dot reported that Bell’s Twitter was full of “QAnon beliefs and interacting with advocates of the conspiracy theory.” That includes tweets about Bill Gates using aborted tissue to make vaccines. In response to that story, Bell told The Dot, “I’m not a ‘QAnon’, whatever that means.”
On April 7, Bell was cited by Sunset Valley police for assault, following a fight at a local Nordstrom over the store’s masks mandate. Ella Bell reportedly attempted to enter a dressing room without a mask, leading to her being arrested. In response, Bell raised his voice from her and said, “You are not going to impose on me your nasty rules that are false and not true.” It certainly appears that Bell is having a hard time staying out of the limelight.
‘Don’t want my kids having anal se**x’
The Lake Travis Independent School District confirmed to KXAN that it removed a book from two middle school libraries after at least one complaint. “Lake Travis ISD received an (unidentified) call that there was material of a pornographic nature in our Hudson Bend High School library,” read an initial statement from the district.
Following that statement, a district spokesperson told us that the book was removed from Hudson Bend and Bee Cave middle schools. Its content will be reviewed with respect to board policy. “A district has significant discretion in determining the content of its school libraries,” the spokesperson said, citing school board policy. “A district must, however, exercise its discretion in a manner consistent with the First Amendment.”
He added: “A district will not remove materials from a library for the purpose of denying students access to ideas with which the district disagrees. A district may remove materials because they are very vulgar or based solely on the educational suitability of the books in question. ”
It comes the night after a school board meeting where local mother and former Lake Travis ISD school board candidate Kara Bell lashed out at officials, reading a sexually explicit passage from the book. Due to the theme, she may find this inappropriate for younger readers.
“I don’t want my kids to learn about anal sex in high school,” Bell said, raising his voice to the board members. In the video of the meeting on the district website, you can hear Bell’s microphone cut off and some applause from some members of the crowd after she finishes speaking. The book is “Out of Darkness” by Ashley Hope Pérez.
The book tells a love story between an African-American boy and a Mexican-American girl in the context of a horrific 1937 explosion in East Texas that killed nearly 300 schoolchildren and teachers, according to an NBC News article published just after the publication of the book.
“I hope they are somewhat starved for stories from people on the fringes of history,” Pérez told NBC News, when asked about what she hopes readers will learn from the book. “That’s really what I was trying to do with ‘Out of Darkness’ in the way I approached the explosion. I knew a lot of the historical details, but I was also trying to tell stories that reflected the marginal experiences of the characters (African American and Mexican American).
Jonathan Friedman works at Pen America, a nonprofit organization that advocates for diversity, inclusion, and free expression in literature. He says that conflicting views on what students should learn in school are at a boiling point, and debates over the content of the books are increasingly heated. In March, we told you that several student-run book club books in Leander Independent School District high schools were taken down due to parent reaction.
