Creationist Chairwoman of S.C. Board of Education Resigns as Sex Scandal Goes Public.
And today we add yet another evangelical official to the ever-growing mass of flotsam swirling down the drain of conservative political hypocrisy:
Kristin Maguire, the Chairwoman of the S.C. State Board of Education resigned her post shortly before SC poliblog FITSNews published a piece claiming that Maguire is a “prolific author of hardcore erotic fiction on the Internet.” FITS promised something juicy was on the way last Friday, which is actually when she submitted her resignation to the LuvGov himself. The article also alleges that Maguire engaged in lap dances at bars, public indecency at Jenny Sanford’s desk in the governor’s office, and points to a probable cover-up by Sanford’s staff when they were tipped off earlier this year.
While her resignation letter makes no mention of the alleged salacious details, the upstate evangelical apparently acknowledged to FITS that “she had visited certain websites where such material was posted and reviewed.”
This is probably good news for all public school students in S.C., as the home-schooling mom of four had no business chairing the very board responsible for public education policy to start with. She has been a vocal anti-evolutionist and is a strong supporter of “abstinence only” sex education. When she was elevated to lead the S.C. Board, her appointment was hailed as a victory for social conservatives and cheered on Christian blogs and websites across the Southeast.
Here are samples of the erotic fiction written by “Bridget Keeney,” who is alleged by FITS to be S.C. Board of Education Chairwoman Kristin Maguire:

Lauren’s Masturbatory Musings
and here’s the letter to Board Members:
Dear Board Members,
Many of you know that I have been carrying an ever increasing burden with
regards to my parents’ health. Finally, last week, as I mapped out with my mom and her physician what our lives will look like for the next several months, it became clear that there is no way that I can adequately meet my family’s and parents’ needs while being a conscientious member, let alone Chair, of the State Board of Education. The math simply doesn’t work.I reluctantly reached the decision to resign from the State Board of Education. I tendered my resignation to the Governor on Friday so he could appoint someone who can fully participate in the important discussions and policy decisions that are in the immediate future of the Board.
It has been an honor to serve with all of you. The combined experience and passion around the Board table is amazing. There is a camaraderie and unity of purpose that has allowed room for respectful disagreement and constructive discussions in which the opinions and wisdom of all members are both sought and heard. I am certain that the students of South Carolina are better for the investment that all of us have made to this end.
While I regret not finishing my term as Chair I am proud of the work that the Board has accomplished this year. I am confident that you all will finish the year strong under Chairman Moore’s leadership with the continued support of the State Department of Education.
I ask for your understanding as my family and I enter this next phase of our journey. One day I hope to again partner with many of you to continue to improve education for our state’s children.
Sincerely,
Kristin Maguire
If only the Governor himself would realize his time to step aside has come too…

Scandalicious!
First I’ve heard of this one, but it’s not surprising.

A religious, “abstinence only” promoter writing hard core erotic porn? That can only have two outcomes: Soft porn so dull that can be used in school sex education books or an unleash of repressed sexuality that can make Satan himself blush.

If she wasn’t fired for being, as a creationist, unqualified (hello!), she should have been fired for using that frayed old “as the train entered the tunnel” erotic cliche! Bleh.

Mark,
“….a gay homosexual”
Redundant at best, straight at worst.
Sorry, just trying to save you from yourself. Call me “God”

(unless, you mean he was a happy homosexual, in which case I withdraw my post)

This is why I stay the hell away from all “Holier Than Thou” religious zealots, deceivers that they all are. Shameful, not the deeds themselves but by her own actions, she demonstrates that what she preaches is such garbage, she doesn’t ever practice them herself and also that those that do are gullible sheep taking lifestyle advice from those living hypocritical double lives. Churches are like hospitals, hospitals house those with physical illnesses and churches house the spiritual illnesses. If your spiritually together, there’s no need to run to church and pray for forgiveness every week. Unless you have to much money, churches can at least help you there. SS. SS

Resigned for the wrong reasons; she should have quit because morons have no place being in charge of education. Anti-evolution dumbass.

Just make sure you give these religious idiots plenty of rope as they know exactly what to do with it. It’s our duty to supply the rope so confront a religious zealot today! Then sit back and enjoy the show.

It is the unequaled hypocrisy of the right wing that always astonishes me.
What can possibly go on in their little minds?
Does anyone have her address?
September 1st, 2009 at 11:21 pm
Hey, if she was selling her stories, more power to her. Being an advocate of teaching abstinence-only and creationism in public school, however, is unconscionable.

The main difference between “conservatives” and “liberals” is that liberals are honest about their humanity, while the conservatives try to pretend that they are somehow superior to the majority of people. When in secret they practice precisely the same vices as everyone else.
